Army Medical Center of Excellence PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 2.5, but the average accepted is 3 — a gap of 0.50. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Ask about board prep — The reported first-time PANCE pass rate is 82%. That is below the national average — a fair question to ask on interview day is what remediation and board prep look like.

• Accreditation status: Probation — ARC-PA currently lists this program as Accreditation-Probation. Programs do come off probation, and students generally remain eligible to sit for the PANCE, but you should read the ARC-PA action report and ask the program directly before depositing.
