Any advice?? Physicians Assistant
I'm a high school junior who has wanted to be a Physicians Assistant for as long as I can remember. Right now, I have a 4.0 GPA and am apart of multiple different clubs, with a total of 200+ community service hours.
I'm a bit torn because I'm not sure whether I should go into a direct entry PA program that's straight through, or if I should get my undergrad then apply to PA school separately. I'm aware of the super general pros and cons of both, but any specific ones that you may think are important, I'd definitely appreciate knowing!
As well as this, any advice on good and credible direct entry programs or credible colleges with good science paths/classes to apply to that aren't extremely competitive would also be great!
I live in New Jersey and would like to stay in-state but something not too far away would also be okay... if this sparks any thoughts!
Thanks!!
I know that you asked a similar question before, so I wanted to provide an additional resource to help you! I think that watching this CollegeVine livestream could help you make a decision about PA programs. Feel free to also check out the list of PA programs on PAEA, which is a credible source. Hope this helps!
