Program admissions informationThe 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. They were also realistic with applicants whose science GPA sits below their overall GPA: that combination is less competitive but does not automatically end the conversation, and a clear upward trend in recent science coursework reads as a genuine positive.
