PA School

So I've decided to show you all what's going on with my school these days. I'm applying for Physician Assistant school and am actually really close to being done. To apply to PA school you have a general application called the CASPA application that goes to all of the schools. The next step is to complete the supplemental applications that some of the schools require. After that is the waiting to get an interview. That's where I'm at right now. It is pretty stressful/exciting. I have my preferences, but am just hoping I get accepted to at least one or two, and not get rejected by all of them. The possibility of that is the reason I feel so vulnerable posting my progress. But since the few of you who read my blog are my friends I'm counting on you not to laugh if that happens, in fact I'm counting on your prayers and lucky stars while I wait. Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you all.
So here is the list and the recent news. Every time I hear something new I'll try to post an updated list.

1)Pacific University (Oregon)- just finishing the supplemental application

2)Oregon Health and Science University - pending and ever so hoping that I get invited to this one


3)Idaho State University (either the Pocatello or Boise Campus) - pending, would love to go here to be close to the family and friends


4)University of Colorado - pending, would love to live close to BreeAnna and Clint's Family which would be great


5)Touro University California - pending, close to Mike's brother


6)Western University (Pomona California) - pending,close to Tressa


7)Loma Linda University - unnoticed, incomplete prerequisites so no-go for this university


8)Quinnipiac University (Connecticut) - pending


9)Chatham University (Pennsylvania) - pending


10)University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - pending, probably close to Meagan which would be fun


Obviously location is a big deal to me as far as being close to family and friends. I've looked at all of the schools and feel like they have programs that would be good for me. Now it is just waiting to see if they think I fit their school well.

ISU all the way! Not that I really like the school, but you would be close to home, and they do have a pretty good PA program :) I am sure you will have plenty of offers though, because you are a very talented and compassionaite person. You will do awsome where ever you go!

I hope the waiting and not knowing ends soon! What a fun adventure to be off to! I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up. Way to go on all the hard work you've already done. Hope where ever you end up, is the perfect fit!
