Why PA? I chose to become a PA because of the compassion and love PAs bring into the medical field. Also, for the love of medicine and curiosity I have. My brother was in a coma for 5 weeks when I was 12 and that’s when my interest in medicine began.
How many programs did you apply to? 3
How many programs did you interview with and what were the outcomes? I interviewed with 2 programs. Michigan state and Trine University. I got accepted into Trine and declined from Michigan State.
Where will you be attending? Trine University
Anything you found interesting about interviews? I was surprised by how relaxed and easy going it was at Trine.
Were there any helpful resources (books, websites, webinars, etc) you used to get through prerequisites courses, the application or interview process? The podcast for this account helped me a lot;)
Any advice for other pre-PA students? Keep with it, retake classes if you need to, and your time will come if your heart is in it:)
