<p>So basically I just finished my sophomore year. I've struggled with school because my priorties werent set straight and because I had family troubles away from school. My grades dropped and now I've been kicked out of my school.</p>
<p>My goal going into college was to eventually go to PA school and I still really want that to happen. My plan right now is to take a year at a community college and become a Paramedic. I've been a paid EMT for two years now so I have plenty of experience. After becoming a Paramedic I want to try to go back to the school I got kicked out of and graduate.</p>
<p>After graduating I really want to go to PA school but I dont know how good my chances are because I got kicked out. Will the enormous amount of healthcare experience I have help my chances? What else can I do? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Im seriously stressed out because im so unsure of my future.</p>
<p>Some schools do require a certain amount of healthcare experience, but after that mark I don’t think there is any additional benefit. They mostly just want to know you know what a PA is and what they do and are familiar with health care.</p>
<p>Joining the Peace Corps is a possibility… you will probably be classified as a unconventional candidate with a hook for grad school… You would need to finish your bachelor’s first though. It is a big commitment, but its something that I’m planning to do before grad school. </p>
<p>Going back to the school you were kicked out of is not necessarily advisable. Go there and your failing GPA remains to drag your GPA into the toilet and make grad school admission difficult. </p>
<p>Go to another school where your GPA will begin afresh. Sure, your transcripts will include school #1 and still include the old GPA, but the focus will be on what you did once you returned to school/turned over a new leaf/got yourself away from whatever life you were living at school #1. </p>
<p>I don’t know about Peace Corps. They almost always have positions that require a bachelors degree, and the selection is pretty tough.</p>
<p>When I was in the Air Force a million years ago, they had lots of Physician’s Assistants.I suppose if you really want to become a PA badly enough, you could do one of those deals where you go into the military as long as they agree to train you to become one.</p>
