@OspreyCV22 maybe I did go into a school predetermined to hate it but how would you feel if you could have chosen somewhere else to go but you were forced to follow a career path you didn’t want to follow? @NavalTradition st. john’s is very expensive and scholarship as well as financial aid does not help much. @Jamrock411 I don’t want to use it as a backup. At PA interviews they ask you why you would want to be a PA over a doctor. I’m not going to say it’s a fallback option. Also I won’t have room for all the prerequisites during undergrad so if I wanted to do that, I would have to do it during the summer at a different school or something. The problem with that is that medical schools don’t like to see that you took big courses like physics during the summer. They’d rather see it during a full school year but in the PA program I would not have room for that. I’m also not fearful of low grades. The sentence was just written poorly and gave off that connotation.
