Speed-Running a Bachelor’s at 18 to Prep for a MS in PAs
#7
PA school is competitive. I’m literally working right next to a PA this very second who spent years trying to get in.

He was a combat medic and paramedic.

Being young, you will be at a disadvantage. PA schools love experienced medical providers and being a MA is a pretty weak form of medical experience unless you can back it up with something else.

That something else should be stellar grades (ie not easy/hand waive ACE credits) or solid research experience.

You should not speed run this. To be honest I wouldn’t want a 22-23 year old PA treating me. I’ve seen hundreds in my lifetime, some good…many not.

Sounds like you are doing the right thing with CC pre reqs at the least. IMO MA certs are a waste of time, they are glorified secretaries that take vital signs and do blood draws.
