<p>How different are these three programs? I'm currently a freshman biology major on the pre-med path and I will most likely stick to pre-med until I graduate. If I do not get into med school, will I still be able to try to become a Physicians Assistant or even a nurse?</p>
<p>Most grad entry PA programs will expect significantly more hands-on experience than do med school admissions. You’ll also need a GRE score instead of MCAT. But pretty much the required classes are the same.</p>

<p>I’d also suggest NOT spplying to PA and MD programs simultaneously. (PA programs are housed within the medical school at many colleges.)</p>
<p>Nursing is a whole different track than pre-med and pre-PA. Different coursework since the final 2 years of a BSN degree are all clinical training. There are accelerated BSN programs for BA/BS in biology.</p>
