Pace University - Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Middle-of-the-pack GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.7) 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 3.7 — a gap of 0.70. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Career-changer friendly — At 300 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 $136,110 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.

• 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.

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

• Recency matters — Prerequisites expire after 5 years. Older science coursework may need to be retaken.
