    ★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

    The admissions team described interview invitations as flowing from a composite score that weighs academics, healthcare experience and stated preferences together — rather than any single number. Their interview advice was straightforward: know why you want to be a PA, be yourself, and let the committee see the person behind the application. In other words, being academically qualified is not the same as being interview-ready.
