Barry University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.4) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• Large cohort — A class of 100 is among the biggest in the country. More seats improves your odds, and the alumni network is larger, but you will need to be proactive about mentorship.

• Apply early — Admissions are rolling, so seats come off the board as the cycle goes. An application submitted in the first few weeks is worth more than the same application submitted in month four.
