Speed-Running a Bachelor’s at 18 to Prep for a MS in PAs

[Jonathan Whatley]

I'm going to disagree slightly with Jonathan and say that OP probably should pursue alt credit for less relevant gen eds (e.g. sociology, american history, etc). It'll free OP up to focus on doing well in the prereq courses. If you get good grades in the prereq courses then your GPA is already high and you have no need to take other RA courses to boost your GPA.

Fair! I am concerned that the OP might take a GPA hit from a future science course – happens to the best students among us – then wish that they had the GPA cushion from a few more relatively easy graded RA gen eds or electives.

That TESU BS HST is worth considering. Disadvantage of no especially friendly-graded credits as part of the program, advantage of no residency credit requirement to speak of.

In an alternate universe where WGU awards graded credit their new BS in Health Science would be a great choice for pre-PA. It could still be a good choice in this universe for someone who's assembled credits and GPA elsewhere for pre-PA or other pre-health but has no bachelor's yet.
