Acceptance Status

Full Acceptance Status

Candidates with all prerequisites completed will be recommended for full acceptance.

Conditional Acceptance Status

Candidates with outstanding requirements will be recommended for conditional acceptance. Circumstances which may result in a conditional admission include:

  1. An applicant with a bachelor's degree in progress. An official transcript with the degree posted must be received prior to May 30th.
  2. An applicant with an undergraduate cumulative grade point average (GPA) less than 3.0 but greater than 2.80, and who has not completed a minimum of 15 semester hours of relevant graduate work with a 3.0 or better GPA, may be admitted with conditional status. The student must achieve a 3.0 by the end of the first fall semester of the physician assistant curriculum or may be subject to dismissal. Given the competitive nature of the applicant pool, the admissions committee rarely offers acceptance to candidates with GPAs less than 3.0.
  3. An applicant who has any prerequisite courses to complete at the time of application may be admitted with conditional status, with a clear understanding that remaining prerequisites must be satisfactorily completed prior to May 15 with official documentation received by May 30. Typically, students with more than two outstanding prerequisites are less competitive. Official transcripts or other appropriate documentation will be required.
