✔ What This Program Looks For in Applicants

Each application on its own merits: academic work (undergrad + science GPA), interview scores (Kira Talent async virtual), healthcare experience, LORs, service and leadership.

Preference to candidates with more science credits and direct patient care requiring prior training. Weighs motivation, maturity, interpersonal skills, PA-profession knowledge, and Elon mission alignment.

Summarized from the program’s official admissions / selection-process pages. Always confirm current details on the program’s website.

💬 How This Program Interviews

Where: Virtual

Elon conducts interviews asynchronously through the Kira Talent video platform rather than a live, in-person panel or MMI structure, and the page does not specify a station-based format.

Summarized from Elon University’s own admissions and interview pages — verified 2026-08-01. Interview formats and dates change between cycles, so confirm with the program before you make travel plans. See the program’s interview page.
