★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair
The admissions team described a holistic review process and spoke directly to applicants from military backgrounds. Their advice was to translate military service into the language admissions committees actually use — leadership, teamwork, adaptability, performance under pressure, communication, problem-solving, commitment to service, and any direct healthcare experience — rather than leaving a reviewer to interpret job titles and duty descriptions on their own. If you are a veteran applicant, your experience is an asset, but it lands hardest when you connect it explicitly to the demands of PA training and patient care.

Format: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) Where: On campus
A half-day, in-person multiple mini interview on the UNT Health campus, with information sessions and time with faculty and current students built into the day. Invitations begin in late summer for applications submitted by the end of June; interviews typically run September through December but can end earlier once the class fills. The program says it is assessing interpersonal, communication and time-management skills along with motivation.
