Tips for Less CASPA Stress

Time for a little intro and refresher on why I became a PA for anyone new to the podcast. Then, we’re jumping into tips for making your CASPA experience a little easier. Here are the highlights and links:

  • CASPA only calculates your GPA once with the information that is entered at the time of submission. That means courses in progress won’t be included even if you update later with new grades. What is my CASPA GPA? - https://www.thepaplatform.com/blog-2/csk9jra4zhektfyerfzehth9d2ejzb

  • Everything hypothetically should carry over between cycles except for letters of recommendation and the personal statement. Don’t rely solely on CASPA to save all of your information. You can use the HCE/PCE Excel sheets from www.thepaplatform.com/downloads to organize your experiences.

  • You cannot edit experiences that are already entered in CASPA, but you can add new ones. The schools will get updates, but they may not look at them. Consider sending a separate update to the program specifically. You can find contact information listed at www.thepaplatform.com/physician-assistant-programs-map
