    Thanks for the focus on the UC San Diego PA program. I was, in fact, asked that exact question by many. Great work on your videos. Very thorough. - Elias

    What does it mean if a program has Probation F** next to it. Also how long can a program stay under that specific probation because it’s been a while and it’s still there.

    Western U has now been allowed by ARC-PA to seat a class for the upcoming school year. This must mean that the reviews they had have been successful? They have another site review in March 2025. What do you think about this? 4:55

    Hi, thanks for the video! I just graduated undergrad this month, and won’t apply until next cycle (so I’d be submitting in May 2025.) Can I ask undergrad professors for letters of rec now when I am fresh in their minds? If PA schools are reading letters of rec from a year or two ago, will they frown upon this? Thanks!

    Hello, great video bro. I live in Upland, Ca and im becoming more and more interested in exploring the medical field. It might just be a mid-life crisis but nonetheless the desire is there. What would you say about the Radiation Science Bachelors Degree at Loma Linda University with an Associates degree in Health Sciences from Cal Baptist University? Obviously the Associates degree will come first.

    Thank you so much this advice is gold. I do have one question. I’ve heard that classes are mandatory (unlike in some medical schools where you can skip and self study) can you talk about how you took advantage of that class time? Did you take notes? Make anki? Study anki? Or tried to just follow along and study after class?

    I'm a bit confused about what I need to do. In 2023, I requested for my transcripts to be sent to CASPA. CASPA just opened 2 days ago, and I've taken more class since then. Do I just continue adding to the Transcript Entry section? Do I have to request for an updated transcript to be sent to CASPA? Also, I have a single class left to take online at a different institution. I don't take that until Fall 2024, how does that work if I want to apply now?

    Thanks for this. It is super helpful. I recently got into a program that is on probation and I also heard about the "matriculation guarantee" while reading some articles. Seems like that really is not the case. It definitely makes you think twice before accepting an offer from a program that is not fully accredited.

    Hello! I see that you graduated from UCLA. I am a high school senior that has UCLA as a choice to attend and was wondering how you liked it there? Do you feel that it’s a good school to go as a pre-pa student? Was maintaining a high GPA while accumulating PCE feasible? Thank you!

    I don’t believe in coincidence anymore, only synchronization. I get out of the Army this year and move back to Sacramento. I recently decided to change my Major from business to being a PA because of some recent soul searching. You’ve given me hope bro. Continue to do great things! Maybe one day I’ll run into you!

    Hi Mario, thank you for this detailed video, go Bruins! I graduated ucla around the same time as you, now circling back to PA. I was wondering if you ever mentioned academic probation on your application, since you fell below a 2.0 gpa the semester you got the F. I'm in a similar boat, got 2 D's one semester and fell below 2.0 and was on probation the next quarter. I barely remembered it until I saw the question on CASPA asking about it. It would help me out a ton to hear your insight. Thank you!
