Hi there,
Really just a quick general question to ease my own mind. This is my second cycle applying to PA school. I was told to do better on the GRE (I did well, but not GREAT) and to complete my last science pre-req with an A (I did, biochem). I currently hold a Master of Public Health and much of my HCE comes from direct care and work with patients in clinical trials and working with physicians/ provider teams in decision-making, outcomes research, and medical evaluations. Unfortunately, my undergrad years were really hard socially, and greatly impacted my GPA. There is an upward trend in grades and I have a great GPA from my graduate program and most recent grades (around 3.8). However, my overall GPA remains to be a 2.97 and my overall science is a 3.26. Any insight on whether a program with a 3.0 minumum might screen me out entirely? I have received a couple of rejections from this cycle with a list of reasons. One of them was that I did not meet the min GPA. Know it seems simple, but is this likely the case for my other applications for schools who wait until last minute? Thanks in advance for the advise!
