pa19960 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Is applying to PA schools mid-july too late? My earliest deadline is Oct 1st. I have to take a pre req over the summer (1 class plus 1 lab so 4 hours total) and they won't be finished until mid-july. I don't want to apply without them because my GPA is pretty average (3.5 cumulative, 3.4 science), and I think having all my pre reqs completed before I apply would increase my chances. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htb13a Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm going to be honest. The deadlines these programs say is to get more money from people whose applications will not be looked at. For example. I applied six weeks before the deadline for a program last cycle, and was told after the cycle that the reason I never heard back was that it was a week too late. I would say call the program and ask. Because, the coordinator for mine told me June 15th, when the deadline was September 1st. But, it all varies from program to program.

KaiteKakes Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have the EXACT same GPAs and I am applying in May. I am taking 1 prereq over the summer, but I think it will increase my chances to apply earlier, and submit that grade later. Just something to think about.

KuchiKopi Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I second @KaiteKakes I would apply now! Just my two cents! I have also heard not to wait till near deadlines, I would at least get the app in within the halfway mark of the open cycle for the school. The earlier the better IMO!
