KaiteKakes Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just got my first rejection, solely based on a misdemeanor from several years ago. It really sucks, but there's nothing I can do to change that now. Anyone else have a similar story, or know someone who does? Not looking for sympathy. Just hope that it wasn't a gigantic waste of time and money to try and become a PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyJ Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just curious...how do you know it was based solely on the misdemeanor? Did your rejection letter specifically state that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your rejection letter specifically state that? They were nice enough to offer feedback. Which I really appreciate. But yes, they said that was the only reason, and they would have been happy to offer an interview otherwise. They told me to reapply in 3 years.

DizzyJ Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well that sucks. There are certainly people who get into PA school with a misdemeanor. There have been threads about it on here. Not knowing anything about your particular misdemeanor, or you as an applicant in general, I would say it is not a waste of time to continue your journey just because of one rejection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Find out about getting your conviction expunged/your record sealed. That may well make it easier for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
