in pre-pa, Uncategorized on

  Getting into PA school is not your whole life. SAY WHAT?!? It feels like it’s your whole life, like your entire future depends on it. And now the next CASPA cycle is about to open; it’s time to apply to Physician Assistant school. Thrilling, right?   And terrifying, right?   Yep, we get it.   It’s only one of the… View Post

Fear

in PA-S, pre-pa on

  How many times a day are you afraid? I did a little experiment and over the course of the day I counted 34 times. Occasionally I experienced the adrenaline pumping, heart thumping, nausea causing fear (usually because my kids were 1 inch away from killing themselves). Most of the time my fear was more subtle, like a cloud hanging… View Post

More personal statement prewriting strategies: Freewriting and Life Maps

in pre-pa, Uncategorized on

You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. ~Jack London   It can be difficult to whittle down your approach to the CASPA personal statement. Where do you start writing? How do you provide a snapshot of the values you’ll have as a provider as well as an overview of the unique experiences that have lead you to the PA… View Post

Personal Statement Prewriting Strategies: Mind Mapping and Word Storm

in pre-pa on

Prewriting is a great way to begin the process of writing your Personal Statement for the CASPA. The personal statement is a required element of your application. There’s no formula to follow, which can be liberating or terrifying. You want to demonstrate your knowledge about the PA profession but keep it from sounding like you’re reading from a PA manual.

What people are saying about PA Trek Coaching

I would like to share some excited news with you. I recently was accepted to 2 PA schools and still have another interview coming.

I was accepted to Marshall B. Ketchum in Fullerton, CA, and Touro University- California.  and another interview at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, Ca.

I wanted to thank you for giving me the best coach ever. He is super supportive and always check if I was ok during the process. I am so happy and proud of myself that I even got in the first year. I know how competitive PA schools are, so I am just so thankful that I found you all.

I don’t even know how to thank you for all your help!! I was accepted to my first choice program at the Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Class of 2019! Not only that, but I was one of those they called right after the interview. I am absolutely excited (and scared)!

Thank you again for all your through assistance! I don’t think I could have done this without you!

I just got their acceptance email. Beyond excited and grateful. Thank you so much for everything. I would not have come this far without your help!

 

Aleena, accepted at UTGRV Mock Interview/Personal Statement Critique

My experience with PA Trek Coaching was great. The team really provided me with the guidance I was looking for, plus tons of extra information that really came in handy. Initially, I was struggling with my personal statement but my PA Trek coach encouraged me to look inside myself and dig deep. Without their help, I’m not sure if I would have been able to articulate my story in such a professional way. Additionally, the mock interview with my coach gave me a new perspective and insight on the entire process. I know the mock interview helped me gain confidence with my interviewing skills, which really paid off. Thank you, PA Trek Coaching!

I used personal statement review and interview bootcamp. These resources were INVALUABLE to me. I felt my confidence grow, and when it was time for my last interview at my top choice school, I killed it!

I just wanted to share that after my ONLY interview this cycle (aaand my first cycle applying), I was just accepted to Carroll University’s PA Program and will be starting this coming May!!!!!
I will be forever glad that I took advantage of  PA Trek! My coach gave me great advice and suggestions which I definitely took to heart and worked on the week following our mock, and knowing what I needed to work on gave me the confidence that I needed. I felt I truly rocked that interview and clearly I did something right. 🙂

Mary, accepted at Carroll University Mock Interview

We took an hour for a mock interview at the end of September and I just wanted to give you an update on my interviews! So far, I have gone to four. I was accepted at South University (Savannah, GA) and Western Michigan University! Your mock interview helped me so much. At WMU, I had an impromptu essay about the state of health care in America / pros and cons of the current health system and I felt completely prepared – I wouldn’t have had too much to say if you hadn’t recommended I look into it further! Just wanted to let you know! Thanks so much for your time. It was well worth it.
