taiki Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hello Everyone, To fulfill the prerequisites for PA schools and to be more competitive, I've taken courses from multiple schools. Some at the community college level and others at the university level. Has anyone run into an issue or know if PA schools frown upon taking courses from multiple institutions? I know some schools dislike community college courses and online courses, but as a self Post-Bach student it is financially or timewise more feasible for me to take some courses at the cc level. It just feels ridiculous at times sending multiple transcripts, but I want to do these upper division courses and they are not available to me locally. So if you have any personal experiences or any AdCom members would like to comment, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and good luck! -Tai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have not seen an issue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted December 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2013 I did prereqs at 3 different institutions and had transcripts from 5. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted December 6, 2013 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2013 I had transcripts from 10, prereqs from four. Not an issue, except that the CASPA data entry gets a bit more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiki Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thank you everyone for your answers, it helps put away some doubts! Rev Ronin, 10 transcripts, that's a lot of transcript fees :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejsmith829 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would just be wary of the community college thing. My program I'll be attending does not accept any credits from cc. Just make sure the schools you want will take them! Other than that, I agree, no problem with multiple schools! I had transcripts from 3 different schools and no one bated an eye. Also 2 of those were online science courses. Quite a few programs accept the university of new England's online courses if you're looking.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2013 I did an online stats course through oregon state and no one had a problem with it. Took a yr of college physics with lab, an ethics course, and a genetics course at a community college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted December 6, 2013 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2013 Rev Ronin, 10 transcripts, that's a lot of transcript fees :) Before I applied for PA school, I had earned 3 associates, a bachelors, and two masters' degrees from four different institutions. This is what happens when you go to PA school in your late 30's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
