I feel pretty disappointed in myself since I just finished with a C in anatomy. What are my odds of getting in if I apply this cycle? I graduate on Friday, but have already registered to take anatomy again at a community college in the fall. I have 2 other outstanding prerequisites (physio lab + upper division bio) that I will also take in the fall. However, my cGPA is average at a 3.69 right now but will go down after the anatomy grade is posted. I also have about 1300 PCE at the moment but will get it up by the end of June. At a crossroads right now.

To add, my sGPA is 3.34 that's why i'm very nervous. i plan on taking 2 classes online this summer to try and raise it a bit

I graduate on Friday, but when I look back on my college career, there aren't many monumental moments that stand out to me. My whole life I have been a shy and reserved person, and hid in my dorm all of freshman year and legit had no friends to go out and do things with. I began branching out sophomore year when I joined clubs, but I did not really form relationships with people because I did not know how to reach out.

I did not realize how fast the years passively went by. Now i'm graduating with no memories. I actually feel horrible about it and wish I could go back because now I know what I should have done, but obviously I can't. It just sucks hearing from people about how graduating is going to be hard because of the huge community they've formed here. I feel like I missed out on so much and I wish I did better.

I feel pretty disappointed in myself since I might get a C in anatomy. My final is on Monday, and I need to make a 95 to get a B. With that being said, could I still apply this cycle?

Hello, this is a long one so stay with me

I'm 21 and graduate college on May 15. I'm wanting to go to PA school but taking a gap year. In the meantime, I'm starting my first day of my medical internship with an aesthetics surgeon who also does small procedures in clinic on May 18th.

This is a great way for me to get experience and patient hours before PA school. However, it is a strict every Monday and Thursday schedule with little to no days off for a year.

The doctor gave me the opportunity to take off May 21 and 25 (Thursday and Monday) because my mom wants me to go to Canada with her for her friend's mom's funeral (if i don't go, my dad and potentially my brother would go as well so she would not be alone). Side note, my mom is still pretty strict and wants a say in everything I do and does not let things go if I don't do things her way.

However, since the preceptorship schedule is tight I don't know when or if i can take off again. I really want to go to Taiwan (i'd pay for everything of course) May 20 - 26, but my mom says I should go with her to Canada. I don't know if I'm being unreasonable or selfish for putting my needs first and wanting to go to Taiwan during those dates instead. Also she's saying she does not understand why i'm doing the internship at all and now I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I just want to go somewhere I've always wanted to go and not waste my 20s. What would y'all do?

So I was listening to a podcast, and Nia Long said she's been using the Estee Lauder neck and face cream since she was in her 20s and she looks literally immortal at 55. However, I don't have Nia Long money and I'm too broke to spend $100+ every time it runs out.

For those who have been using an affordable (max ~$30) neck cream for years, which one(s) do you swear by? Also do y'all combine it with an SPF (one that does not leave a white cast)?

I think I get in my head easily, and I just want structure and advice from someone who has actually been through a similar path i'm going through.

I'm a senior graduating in 12 days, but i cant help but feel anxiety and worry about my path to PA school. I plan on taking a gap year, but I might have to retake a class post-grad depending how my final goes.

I would like to hear shared experiences from someone who is currently a PA student or is practicing and had to take a gap year(s) or an untraditional route. Also, how you navigated adversity or uncertainty. thanks!

i'm a senior in college majoring in MIS, however, i have absolutely no internships. I mainly structured my resume so I can get into Physician Assistant school (took all the science pre-reqs, worked healthcare jobs, etc.). At the back of my mind though, I've been interested in management consulting or even data analytics. With my degree, I've learned to really enjoy python and SQL. How likely or possible is it for me to start building my path towards consulting or tech? what steps can i start taking as someone who's graduating in 14 days.

also, my university offers an accelerated Master's in Information Technology that would only take 1 year. wondering if that would be worth it to start post grad and maybe also get an MHA or MBA in the future? what are your thoughts
