Pretty much the title. Would it be stupid to drop a school from my list because the start date is January 2027? All the rest of my potential programs start Summer 2027. To be frank, the thought of starting school in 8 months scares me. I’m currently in outpatient treatment right now for some mental health stuff; I’m working as hard as I can to get healthy before school, but I want to give myself time.

I do feel confident that I can succeed as a PA student (otherwise I wouldn’t be applying), but I still feel like I owe it to myself to make sure I’m in the best possible place before starting. On the other hand, I’m aware of the fact that sometimes you take what you can get with PA school, and this school is one of four that’s within a two state radius of me.

What do you all think?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Kira Assessment? One of the schools I am applying to requires it for applicants. How would you prepare for it? I wasn’t expecting to have to think on the fly this early in the process!
