College Search & Selection

<p>I'm just wondering what colleges I should apply to if I want to major in Physician Assistance. A lot of school I know does not offer a combined program. Therefore I know I have to major in biological science and then go for the masters degree in PA.</p>

<p>My question is what colleges/universities should I apply to? My counselor told me my GPA is 4.0 (I am not sure whether its weighed or not) and my class rank is 27 out of ~800. My ACT score is a 28 (not great but decent enough?). </p>

<p>Thank you !</p>

<p>I think you mean Physician Assistant. :)</p>

<p>[Rankings</a> - Physician Assistant - Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-physician-assistant-schools/rankings/]Rankings”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-physician-assistant-schools/rankings/)</p>

<p>well lol I’m not even sure whether to use assistant or assistance cause according to the collegeboard assistance is the major and assistant is the profession. </p>

<p>Yeah thanks for the list, but I came across it a few months back. The program is most of the schools on that list offer the masters program and not the b.s./m.s. combined one, which meant I had to major in a science before I can apply for it. </p>

<p>but thank you for the list nonetheless. I appreciate it a great deal. :]</p>

<p>I’m thinking that UAB might have the combo program. Let me see if I can negotiate their website and find out.</p>

<p>I can’t find a combo program at UAB (but that doesn’t mean they don’t have one. LOL)</p>

<p>What I keep finding is Surgical Physician Assistant (SPA), but I don’t think that’s the same (or maybe I’m wrong?</p>

<p>BTW…do you have AP credits, if so, you could graduate early perhaps to more quickly move into a PA program.</p>

<p>Yes I do have AP credits. I passed the World History, U.S. History, Physics exams. Currently I’m taking AP Biology and BC Calculus. </p>

<p>Thank you for your time. :]</p>
