GPA-competitive — The average accepted overall GPA here (3.82) sits in the top quarter of PA programs nationally. If your GPA is below about 3.66, you will want the rest of your application — hours, letters, upward trend — to do real work.
The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.82 — a gap of 0.82. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.
No extra standardized testing — No GRE, PA-CAT, or CASPer required — one less hurdle if standardized tests are not your strength.
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.
