5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for any prospective PA student, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

I firmly this believe this book was responsible for my getting accepted in to my PA program. This book gives you an insider's point of view into the admissions process. Find out what the programs are looking for and why. Buy this book and give yourself an edge over the competition.

This review is from: Getting Into the Physician Assistant School of Your Choice (Paperback)

As a re-applicant I know most of this info. but for someone just beggining the process of trying to get into PA school then this is the only book for you (actually it is the only book on the subject out there). The interview stuff really helps but the essays are too long as CASPA only allows one to have a 500 word limit and Rodican's examples are unrealistic for this applicaiton format.
