Union College PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• GPA-competitive — The average accepted overall GPA here (3.78) 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.

• Longer runway — At 33 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.

• Ask about board prep — The reported first-time PANCE pass rate is 90%. That is below the national average — a fair question to ask on interview day is what remediation and board prep look like.

• 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.
