Admissions Process for the Physician Assistant Program

成人禁区 University’s Physician Assistant (PA) program is highly competitive, with only 58 seats available for each incoming freshman class. To be fully considered for admission, students must submit their application by November 15 of the year prior to enrollment (typically during their senior year of high school). Applications received by this deadline are guaranteed a complete review.

Qualified applicants who meet all admissions criteria and apply by November 15 will be invited to participate in one of five scheduled interview days (see above for dates). Following these interviews, candidates will be evaluated for placement in the 58 available seats based on scoring of oral and written interview performances, and GPA.

Up to 12 early admission offers may be extended following each of the first three interview dates. The remaining admission decisions will be made after the final interview day on December 9. Up to three of the 58 seats are reserved for qualified transfer students entering at the freshman level.  These candidates must also complete an interview (see below for details).

Students admitted into the program must submit a $350 enrollment deposit. The deposit must be received within 2 weeks of acceptance & is non-refundable.  In addition, a secondary non-refundable deposit of $350 must be submitted by March 1st to confirm enrollment.

For Applicants After the November 15 Deadline:

Students who apply after the November 15 priority deadline may still be considered for placement on the waitlist on a case-by-case basis. Applicants will be notified in May if their late application has been reviewed and qualifying candidates will be invited to a virtual interview.
