How difficult is it to get into PA programs?

I was just accepted into the St. John’s PA program but I’m wondering how hard it is to get into these programs. I understand the road to becoming a certified PA is very difficult and rigorous but is getting into a program as or even nearly as hard? I know it probably depends on the school so if you know specific information about St. John’s then let me know but also generally, is it hard? Either way I’m very very grateful. Thank you in advance!

PA school is becoming pretty difficult to get into; some are even going as far as to say that it’s more competitive than med school.

To be honest, I’m kind of surprised you aren’t sure if it’s “hard” to get into… seeing as you obviously had to apply to get into St. Johns’, right? Congrats, by the way!
