Rochester Institute of Technology PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• Longer runway — At 60 months, this is a longer program than average. Check whether the extra time buys a dual degree, a bridge/undergraduate component, or additional clinical time.

• Higher cost — In-state tuition of $226,220 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• Ask about board prep — The reported first-time PANCE pass rate is 82%. That is below the national average — a fair question to ask on interview day is what remediation and board prep look like.

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