Pace University - Pleasantville PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Middle-of-the-pack GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.59) 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 3.59 — a gap of 0.59. 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 $127,500 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• 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.
