    Hi Guys, I hope I can provide you some insight. It was not easy for me. I was rejected the first time, but I was accepted the second time. Thank you Adanna, I watched so many of your videos and it really helped me out tremendously. I would say do your research to know exactly what your school of choice requirements are. Once you have met ALL of their requirements now the next step is meeting all of the deadlines. Ok you are almost there, then comes the interview...don't worry you got this! Final step the waiting be patient...the anxiety is real....then congrats! You made it!! The real question now that you got in is can you stay in? Umm I'll let Adanna answer this one. Adanna can you make a video about staying in PA School?!! Good luck everyone, follow your dreams and they will come true if you are prepared. "The plans of the diligent leads to prosperity" 100!

      Yes I can make that video. Honestly my new platform addressing staying in PA school as well because it gives you access to various different retention tools. That video will be up next on the docket! Thanks for the idea!

      What was your major? What did you do in your gap year? I'm a biology major and I don't want to have a useless biology degree if I don't get in.

    100%. Im one of those that it took forever. Took 5 years. Probably because i always applied late. 3.6 undergrad GPA, 50-100 shadowing hours, 8 months volunteering at Mayo Clinic, over 10k hours direct patient care by the time of matriculation (CNA and MA). One school I got accepted to had 2000 applicants for 20 spots (1% acceptance rate) and I would have only been their second class.
    But also they do this because PA school is rough. Not everyone makes it through. We lost 6 students in my class. Taking my PANCE tomorrow and nervous. Messaged you about it actually on Instagram :p

      Prince jazz I did apply late each time but I applied the latest the year I got accepted. I was 26 when I started school. Most people it doesn’t take that long but some it does. I applied to between 4 and 7 schools each year. The more you apply to the better chance you have but it’s more expensive. PA schools have about a 2-5% acceptance rate on average. One school I was accepted to had 2000 applicants and they only had 20 spots which is a 1% acceptance rate.

    Adanna, I remember finding your youtube channel by accident looking for inspiration to go back to grad school with children. You have really helped me stay encouraged during my journey of NP school. I am so HAPPY to see your success in your dream job. I am completing my program in the Spring of 2021. Thank you for putting your faith outfront because God has brought me thru many storms as well and now I see the light. God bless.

    Hi, I stumbled across your video yesterday 4/29/2022. I have been an LVN in California for 7 years now. I wanted to go back for RN. This past January I started a new job in an urgent care and I love utilizing my skills more then my previous career choices (ALF, Hospice, SNF.)
    Now that I have seen some of your videos I believe I want to change my career and do PA.
    THANK YOU 👏🏻😊

    Hi! I'm trying to apply this year but I was wondering if you could offer some guidance and maybe take a look at my application? I haven't been able to get any help from advisors and despite all my research I could really use some guidance or a review from someone who is experienced with this process. Please any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks 🙏🏾 for information!! I have a question you haven’t brought up in awhile or maybe you did. PA school that don’t require GRE is there any update information on those school’s. Yale Pa school online for instance. Or even new PA school decided to go online because of the shortage in Healthcare and pandemic, can clinical site be in your state?

I have applied two cycle for CASPA for few school and got one Interview from EVMS, but didn’t get.
