Sullivan University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA: The average accepted overall GPA (3.5) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• The minimum is not the target: The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.5, a gap of 0.50. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Faster to practice: At 24 months, this program is shorter than most. That means less tuition and earlier income, but a denser schedule with little slack.

• 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.
