New York Institute of Technology PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Middle-of-the-pack GPA: The average accepted overall GPA (3.72) is close to the national middle, so a solid-but-not-spectacular academic record is genuinely competitive here.

• The minimum is not the target: The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.72, a gap of 0.72. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Career-changer friendly: At 250 required patient care hours, this is one of the lower bars in the country, worth a look if you are switching fields and building hours while you apply.

• Higher cost: In-state tuition of $150,920 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• No extra standardized testing: No GRE, PA-CAT, or CASPer required, one less hurdle if standardized tests are not your strength.

• Strong PANCE outcomes: A first-time PANCE pass rate of 100% is above the national average.

• Stricter prerequisite grades: A minimum of B in prerequisites is tougher than the typical C. Recheck your transcript before you invest in the application.
