What separates you from the competition when applying to PA school? What truly makes you special among the pool of hundreds or thousands of other applicants. We think about making sure we have a competitive GPA, enough healthcare experience, and a strong academic background. But if every single person has similar previous healthcare experience as you and the same GPA, how can you stand out? Here are 3 ways your application can stand out: 1) share personalized experiences you’ve been apart of - medical missions trips, research projects, volunteer work, and other experiences that have shaped your passion in healthcare 2) diversity of skills and perspective - if you have a background in a non-traditional field such as art, engineering, or business and demonstrate how the skills you have acquired can complement your future as a PA 3) leadership and innovation - where did you hold a leadership role where you took initiative, showed innovation, or used critical thinking in v curious situations These three ways to stand out (plus more) can help you shine in your upcoming PA school application!
