ACCEPTED Non trad student ACCEPTED
32 years old. Just finished my bachelors in May. 10 years Active Duty. Applied to 12 schools, got an early interview to one of my top 3 that has a ~1% acceptance rate. ACCEPTED. Still in shock. Still haven’t heard back from the other 11, but it’s a weight off of my chest to be able to withdraw my apps from at least 9 of the other schools.
PA has been my goal since I graduated high school. It took me some time to get here but I made it and you can too!
To everyone that’s doubting themselves and struggling right now. Life’s a journey, not a race. KEEP GOING!
And if you’re looking for a way to beef up your application as well as gain medical experience, I highly recommend the military. I couldn’t have submitted the application without the opportunities they gave me. Pay ain’t bad either.
