AmandaMrsH Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Graduated in 2013 with a degree in Microbiology. I have a few questions. I didn't get into dental school and worked in a lab for some years. Started being interested in medicine. Took the rest of the required courses in(A&P and Stats) 2017. My GPA isn't great (3.0). I got into chiropractor school but I pulled my application because I was only doing it to do something. I finally decided that I would pursue medicine in PA school. I am 34 years old and I want to know if there are success stories of people with my background. Also I saw that the application asks for test taken. Should I add my old DAT scores? Am I supposed to? I did great on my sciences but my lower scores were in quantitative reasoning. Thanks for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted March 2, 2018 Administrator Share Posted March 2, 2018 No, there is no need to submit DAT scores. Some schools will require a GRE, but prevailing wisdom is never to submit MCAT scores, as that's a big red flag that you would rather be in med school than PA school. Your background is not any weirder than a lot of others. Depending on your application, yes, you could be an entirely viable candidate for PA school--nose around the site, read up, and see how you compare.
