★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

This program is hybrid and is not New York-only — students enroll from well outside the region — with first-year students coming to campus for short in-person intensives each semester. The cohort is small by design, which the program framed as supporting open communication, closer faculty relationships and earlier identification of students who are struggling. In review, the program focuses on performance in science prerequisites, patient-care experience, and a personal statement showing real commitment to serving diverse communities. Cohorts include a wide range of ages and prior careers, so career-changers should not assume they are outliers here.
