University of North Texas HS Center - Fort Worth PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• GPA-competitive: The average accepted overall GPA here (3.82) 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.

• The minimum is not the target: The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.82, a gap of 0.82. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Lower cost: In-state tuition of $12,742 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• Residency matters: Out-of-state tuition ($29,470) runs 131% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.

• Heavier testing load: This program requires GRE and CASPer. Budget the extra prep time and exam fees before your deadline.

• Strong PANCE outcomes: A first-time PANCE pass rate of 97% is above the national average.

• 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.
