<p>Maybe you should try a heading with “Physician assistant program” in it because it’s a pretty specific question. Your scores and class rank seem good enough for small liberal arts schools like Lafayette, Gettysburg etc. Are you totally sure that you want this 6 year program or could you go somewhere else (maybe a better school actually) and major in biology? Just a thought.</p>

<p>I especially like Seton Hall’s program because it guarantees me acceptance into it’s graduate PA school, whereas the others I would have to apply, and this 6 year would cut off a year from the usual 7.</p>

<p>Someone told me that Springfield College in Massachusetts also has the combined BS/MS Physician Assistant degree. My sister went there and liked the school but didn’t like the city. Are the universities that you listed the only ones that have this program?</p>

<p>I think you have some very strong schools/programs here, but apply to at least one reach too. GWU? The majority of colleges need to get their hispanic percentage up, so keep this in mind. You can add a couple reaches and see what happens. </p>
