Physician Associate?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE?
BY Fiona D'Agostino PA-C & Stephen Pasquini PA-C Leave a Comment
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PA?
It's a common question and one that I am often asked, so let me try to answer
it.
Whether you are in undergrad, figuring out your career path, or looking into
your second career, thinking about becoming a PA can be overwhelming.
There are so many steps and things to cross off your to-do list it's hard to
know where to begin. No matter where you are in the process, you need to plan
ahead if you want to become a PA.
Where you are in your educational path will determine how long it will take you
to become a physician associate.
GENERALLY, THERE ARE FIVE STEPS TO BECOMING A PA:
1. Complete your bachelor’s degree
2. Gain experience working and volunteering in a healthcare setting
3. Apply to ARC-PA accredited programs
4. Complete a 2-3 year, master’s level PA program
5. Pass the PANCE licensing exam
HOW LONG DOES THIS ALL TAKE? WELL, IT DEPENDS...
We will go through the five steps listed above to determine how long a typical
path to PA is.
STEP 1: COMPLETE YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE AND PREREQUISITE COURSEWORK (~4 YEARS)
It typically takes four years to earn your bachelor's degree. Maybe a little
longer or shorter depending on your circumstances - classes, life, etc.
Most PA schools require multiple prerequisite courses before applying. In
general, it's best to complete your prerequisite courses during undergrad. This
is the most time-efficient option and will significantly cut down the amount of
time it will take to become a PA.
If you already hold a bachelor's degree and need to return to school to complete
these required courses, plan on adding 1-2 years to your timeline. You must
complete these courses before applying to PA school.
You can often complete these prerequisite courses at a community college. But be
aware that some PA schools require that all prerequisite science courses be
completed at a four-year institution.
Another option is to search for post-baccalaureate programs (“post-bacc”
programs) - a program of study that will aid those in meeting the entrance
requirements for master's programs for physician associate/assistant studies.
These programs require an undergraduate degree as a prerequisite, but they are
not always considered graduate education. Some programs are considered
“continuing education” and can lead to a graduate degree, a certificate, or aid
you in meeting the entrance requirements to a physician assistant program.
- Total time so far: 4 years
STEP 2: GAIN EXPERIENCE WORKING AND VOLUNTEERING IN A HEALTHCARE SETTING (~ 1-2
YEARS)
After getting your bachelor’s degree, becoming a PA requires completing a
master’s level PA program. Most of these programs will require healthcare
experience (HCE), volunteering, and/or patient care experience (PCE) hours
before attrition.
It can take 1-2 years to get the required HCE/PCE hours (sometimes less and
sometimes more). So the best advice I can give is to start now! Working and
volunteering during school and over the summers will shorten the time it takes
to become a PA. If you defer this until after graduation, you will have missed a
golden opportunity and added to the time it will take to become a PA.
For those considering PA school as a 2nd career who already have these HCE/PCE
hours, congratulations! You can cross this off your PA school applicant to-do
list.
- Total time to this point: 4-6 years
STEP 3: APPLY (AND GET ACCEPTED) TO ARC-PA ACCREDITED PROGRAMS (~ 1-3 YEARS)
Most people don't get into PA school on their first try. Applying and getting
accepted into PA programs can take anywhere from 1-3 cycles (sometimes four).
Most programs accept 18-60 people each year. This makes PA school very
competitive.
If you do not get in the first cycle, strengthen your application and apply
again next year.
Dual BS/MS PA programs
If you know you want to become a PA early in your life, one option that will
save you time and money is applying to dual BS/MS PA programs.
These programs confer both a bachelor’s degree (usually in health sciences) and
a master’s degree in PA studies upon graduation. Most of these accelerated
programs take five years to complete. In the first three years of the program,
students work on completing their bachelor’s degree. Then the last two years,
students complete the master’s program to become a physician associate. If you
are in high school, this could be a great option for you!
- Total time to this point: 4-9 years
STEP 4: COMPLETE A 2-3 YEAR, MASTER’S LEVEL PA PROGRAM (~ 2-3 YEARS)
Ironically, the shortest part of becoming a PA is PA school itself. Most
master-level PA programs take 24-27 months to complete. The longest full-time
program is three years. This is split into 1/2 didactic (book work) and 1/2
clinical (seeing real patients).
- Total time to this point: 6-11 years
STEP 5: PASS THE PANCE LICENSING EXAM (~1 DAY)
At the end of PA school, you must pass the Physician Assistant National
Certification Examination (PANCE) to become fully certified and practice as a
PA. Although it has taken a lifetime to get to this point, it will only take
6-hours (the time allotted to complete your PANCE) to become a board-certified
PA (give or take). 😀
After passing the PANCE exam, most people start working right away! However,
others who are considering a medical specialty may enter a PA fellowship or
residency program. PAs can specialize in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery,
hospital medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, and orthopedic surgery. These
fellowships can be very competitive. The average fellowship program length is 12
months; however, some can be up to 24 months long.
SO HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PA?
The process of becoming a PA will take, on average, 7-9 years. For some, it will
take more time, and for others, less. Becoming a PA is a long and challenging
process, but the results are worth it.
Everyone has a different journey, so own yours. Do not be upset if it takes you
longer. Seek out mentors but be intentional with who you follow. Our social
feeds are populated by endless images of wealthy, sexy, successful pre-PAs and
PA students "selling the PA dream."
Although you can glean some good information from social media influencers and
online forums, don't fall into the trap of comparing your life and your journey
to these largely artificial constructs. This virtual runoff perpetually seeps
into our consciousness, polluting our sense of reality and self-worth,
sabotaging our efforts.
You're never too young, old, poor, or stupid (your term, not mine) to become a
PA. The only real obstacle is your mindset. I am living proof.
Everyone willing to put in the hard work and stand tall in the face of
challenges can become a PA if they truly want to. It took me 8 years from the
beginning of undergrad to becoming a full-fledged PA. So set your goals, define
a timeline, don't make excuses, and you will be on your way to success!

TESTIMONIALS
> Duke made some important modifications to my essay and offered several helpful
> suggestions. I appreciated his insight and a keen eye.
Ilina K. Pre-PA
> I am extremely pleased with this service. It is exactly the kind of
> constructive criticism I was hoping to receive. I had my essay reviewed by
> “myparesources” and was not very satisfied with their general comments. Sue
> put a lot of time and effort and gave me concrete examples of how to change my
> essay for the better. I WILL recommend this service over all others. Thank you
> so much!
Joe, Pre-PA
> I really needed help with my personal statement. I wrote many copies and
> finally sent my favorite to the PA life to get some assistance editing. I
> thought I would have a hard time with the constructive criticism because I
> spent so much time already on my writing, but the editors were great in
> suggesting edits and why as well as complimenting appropriately. I’m very
> proud of my end product and am excited to send it to PA schools. I haven’t
> finalized my application yet but will definitely let the PA life know if and
> when I get an interview (or hopefully 2)! 🙂
Bailey B. Pre-PA
> I wanted to send you a quick life update and another BIG thank you! I received
> my acceptance at the University of Utah’s PA Program on Monday and couldn’t be
> happier. Thank you for all your help with my essay and interview prep. Both of
> these services that you provided were so helpful in my success. I will highly
> recommend you to any future PA student.
Lily, Pre-PA
> A couple of months ago you worked with me on improving my personal statement.
> I wanted to reach out and let you know that it worked out! I got 5 interviews
> and so far have been accepted to 2. I am so so thankful for all your help as I
> don’t think it would have worked out without your amazing editing skills.
> Thank you for all you do! Not just me but for all the applicants you helped
> get accepted this year!
Matthew B. PA-S
> I want to say thank you, first off for providing such a service. It was
> difficult having to write a personal statement and then have others critique
> it, when there is not a clear rubric to follow. I think having to write a
> personal statement is such an emotional process, and then having others edit
> it, can be a very harsh pill to swallow. Thank you for your edits, I have no
> doubt that this process will make my personal statement more compelling and
> hopefully a more competitive applicant.
Stephanie, Pre-PA
> I am very pleased with the services provided! I received an email almost
> immediately upon submitting my essay for review, and within 24 hours my essay
> review was completed. I would definitely recommend this service to any PA
> school applicant before they submit their essay to CASPA! Thank you for your
> help!
Hannah Watson, Pre-PA
> I just wanted to let you know that the majority of my interviews have gone
> really well! So far, I’ve received six interview invites and have interviewed
> for five schools. Midwestern (AZ) just got back to me a bit ago, and they sent
> me an acceptance email! I am beyond thrilled! I just wanted to thank you so
> much for your help! Your mock interview gave me a lot of confidence that I was
> able to carry into my interviews! I appreciated having the opportunity to
> practice my interview skills with you. I wanted to let you know just how much
> you’ve helped me with my application process (with my interviews, personal
> statement, and just my confidence in general)! Thank you so much for all of
> the advice over the past few months!
Sneh, PA-S
> I was very pleased with this service. Writing has never been my strongest
> area. While I had the ideas that I wanted to convey I wasn’t able to
> articulate them as well as I’d hoped. Carly provided comments and suggestions
> without altering my central thesis. Any questions that I had were answered
> quickly and thoroughly. Any grammatical mistakes were also addressed which put
> my mind at ease. I would recommend The PA Life personal statement essay
> revision service to anyone applying.
Keith G, Pre-PA
> Well worth the money. I consider myself a decent writer but found I was stuck
> on a few key points of my personal statement. After a few edits on my own and
> with a few people I trust, I decided to submit my essay for editing through
> ThePALife to make sure I was really on the right track. I am supremely
> satisfied. The essay I wrote turned out to be a solid base, but Sarah went to
> work, and every change and suggestion had a logical place. She polished it up
> and made it shine. Thank you so much!
Conor K. Pre-PA
> Duke helped me with my essay and he was great! He really helped me fine tune
> my essay so it’s ready for submission and answered all of the question I had
> about small details in my essay. He was also great about responding to emails
> in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this personal statement review
> service to anyone who’s applying to PA school…even if it’s just as a final
> read-through before submitting it on their application.
Tyler J. Pre-PA
> I am mind-blown by my editor Carly’s work. My original essay is like an
> ill-fitting suit. She hemmed and adjusted it in all the right places and now
> it looks perfect. I don’t think I’m a bad writer, but I don’t write often and
> I have spent the past 10 years of my life focused on health sciences. I may
> have never been able to do this on my own. Thank you thank you, I consider
> this essay service a bargain.
Rebecca, Pre-PA
> An amazing experience. Glad to have worked with Duke. He did his best, and it
> was very enjoyable.
Anand T. Pre-PA
> Sarah Morris Schultz was my PA statement editor and she was absolutely
> fabulous! She helped to shave my original 4-page long, winding PA statement
> down to a 2 page impactful, poignant, moving statement that lead me to get
> accepted to a Doctor of Medical Science program in Physician Assistant
> Studies. She has such a gift for writing and knowing how to say things in just
> the right way and use the right words! One of the DMS PA program committee
> members started off my video conference online interview by stating that my PA
> statement was the best he ever read, not “one of the best” but THE BEST
> statement. My heart leapt. My PA statement years ago had caused me NOT to get
> accepted to the school that I had hoped. I did get accepted to a good PA
> school, got my degree, and started practicing in this field that I love.
> However, this time I decided to humble myself and get help writing a good
> statement. Praise God, it paid off. I am so grateful for the PA Life service
> and fee for the one-on-one service is worth every penny! I recommend everyone
> get Sarah Morris Schultz. She’s the bomb.com! I love you, Sarah 🙂
Sonja D. PA-S
> Very detail-oriented and took the time to explain the process, so our
> expectations were on the same page. Excellent editing and feedback on the
> content. Helpful comments on how I could maximize limited character count to
> make the most impact on the reader. I very much would recommend this service!
Esmeralda, Pre-PA
> Loved this service and working with Sarah. She was super helpful and easy to
> talk with. Will definitely recommend this service to others.
Diana, Pre-PA
> My editor with The PA Life was amazing! I am so thankful for her attention to
> detail and wonderful editing skills. I am thrilled with how my personal
> statement turned out and can’t thank you enough for all of your help.
Olivia, Pre-PA
> Sue was very attentive to details and her comments and edits made a perfect
> sense. Thank you for your help!
Margaryta, Pre-PA
> Wanted to let you know how this application season was going for me so far.
>
> I’ve had two interviews, still have at least three more scheduled, and I
> received my first acceptance last week.
>
> Thank you again for your help!
M.S, Pre-PA
> I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into PA school. I start at
> Albany Medical College in January! Thank you again for doing such an amazing
> job helping me with my essay…I think in the end it really carried my
> application.
Lindsey Porubcan PA-S
> Carly took the time to listen to my concerns about my personal statement and
> apply them to what I had already written. I was so appreciative as I wasn’t
> sure where my personal statement stood before submitting it. I now feel more
> confident in my statement!
Chelsea, Pre-PA
> I just wanted to send you a quick email, letting you know that I finally got
> accepted into PA school! I will be attending Sacred Heart University in
> Connecticut and will be starting this fall. I could not have made it this far
> without your help! This was my third time applying and during my first two
> cycles, I didn’t think that I needed outside help. But this time around, I
> decided that I needed to change my tactic and I am so freaking happy that I
> did. Your guidance and advice on my personal statement absolutely made a
> difference. I had 6 interviews and got accepted into 4! You have helped
> changed my life and I am forever grateful. I have several friends who will be
> applying this cycle so I will be referring them to you!
Christian, Pre-PA
> Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that I got accepted to UC
> Davis, and have accepted their offer. I can’t thank you enough for your help
> through this process. I owe much credit to you and your amazing editing skills
> in helping me get in. With endless appreciation!
Jolene Duthie
> I had a great experience with The PA Life essay revision service. They were
> very professional and made revisions in a timely manner. My editor was very
> understanding about my schedule and when it would take me longer to reply to
> emails. I would recommend this service to any new grad PAs!
Sandy, Pre-PA
> I just wanted to let you know I was accepted to Mercy College’s PA Program
> last night! To say I’m ecstatic is an understatement! I wanted to thank you
> once again for all of your help with my essays and my interview. You helped me
> so much with everything and I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for
> everything.
Anna Mantikas, PA-S
> I am so pleased with the review Carly provided me. Her responses were
> thoughtful and edits helped me in a lot of places where I felt totally stuck.
> So excited to be so close to a final draft with my personal statement. Thank
> you! TBD on the interview (fingers crossed)
Georgia Flynn, Pre-PA
> Susan did a fantastic job editing my essay! She guided me and gave me
> suggestions for strengthening certain sections and equally took out weak
> parts. After I followed her recommendations, I really felt like I had an essay
> where every sentence mattered and reflected who I was. Thank you so much Susan
> for your help. I feel that I have a stronger essay because of your honest
> feedback and your help!
Amanda Pre-PA
> Sarah was beyond amazing, she was always on time with my essay edits, took the
> time needed to really listen to what I had to say. Sarah pretty much
> transformed my essay form caveman style to an easy, awesome flow good content
> easy and fun to read essay. I am very thankful for her collaboration, I could
> not have done anything that resembles her quality of work. Thanks a
> million!!!!
Jerry C, Pre-PA
> This is my third time applying to PA programs. With my first two attempts, I
> only had close friends, family, and peers help me with my personal statement.
> I never even thought about going through a professional personal statement
> review service until after I had failed to get into PA programs my second time
> around. My prerequisites are expiring soon and the thought of going through
> the entire process of applying a fourth time terrifies me. I was hesitant to
> purchase the one-on-one service but after going through it, I am so glad that
> I did. Sarah was my editor and she is incredible. She genuinely understands
> how frustrating yet exciting this process is. I submitted my initial personal
> statement to her and within a day, she had already gotten back to me with
> detailed feedback. She even goes as far as telling you how many characters she
> wants you to add in different parts of your essay – this was extremely helpful
> for me because I tend to be a little wordy sometimes rather than succinct.
> Sarah helped me to highlight my strengths, experiences, and reasons for why I
> have spent so many years pursuing the PA career. This is an incredible service
> and I highly recommend that you take advantage of it! I am still in the
> process of completing my supplemental applications but I am more confident now
> than I have been with my first two attempts!
Christian S. Pre-PA
> Thank you for all of your help with my essay. You used my content, but refined
> it and made it more relatable. I believe due to your help I gained three
> interviews this cycle! I was accepted to two of the three schools and I will
> be going to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston this
> May. Again, thank you for all of your help, it has definitely changed my life.
Lauren Clewley, PA-S
> Sarah was beyond excellent. Her timelines and efficiency provided me with
> enough time to revise and meet with her again before our final draft. Her
> comments and edits were extremely effective. I hope to be receiving an
> interview and will be using this service (requesting Sarah) for a mock
> interview if that happens!
Kaitlyn, Pre-PA
> I just want to let you know I received multiple interview invitations and got
> my first acceptance a few weeks ago! I am still preparing for more interviews,
> but at this point, I am pretty certain I will be going to Midwestern
> University, and I think so much of my success with applications is because of
> your help with my personal statement. Because of this, I wanted to reach out
> and say THANK YOU! I really appreciate your support and I would definitely
> recommend this service to anyone applying to PA school 🙂
Alli Cowan, Pre-PA
> The editor I was assigned, Ms. Matzen, was incredibly friendly, courteous, and
> professional. This was easily the best experience I’ve had with any guidance
> or essay editing program.
Andrew, Pre-PA
> After receiving two edits from Carly I feel extremely confident in my personal
> statement. She not only fixed grammatical error and syntax, but helped me
> better organize my thoughts into a competitive essay. To other Pre-PAs looking
> to submit their essays: I know it’s a bit of an investment but the peace of
> mind, comfortability, and confidentiality is so worth it! Thank you The PA
> Life!
Elizabeth, Pre-PA
> I felt our mock interview was an absolute necessity to prepare for the
> Academic and Personal interviews from Yale School of Medicine PA Program
> Online. I felt the calibre of questions you had asked me, in addition to the
> coaching and post-question feedback, really helped me understand what an ideal
> response looks like and gave me time to reflect and prepare my responses for
> the formal interview just two days later.
>
> During my interviews I was asked plenty of questions I didn’t have a prepared
> response to (and I had combed through tons especially in the days following
> our mock interview!) I can say that I answered each question genuinely,
> authentically, and showed both interviewers the best version of myself. I
> didn’t stammer or lose my place, and I felt confident in my words and
> expressions. I don’t think I would have been as comfortable, calm, or
> confident without having accepted your guidance and feedback and learned from
> our time together.
>
> Gratitude for your words, encouragement, and support is an understatement.
> Thank you, Sarah!
>
> Best Regards,
> Jacob
Jacob, PRE-PA
> My editor was quick and responsive with her emails. Her explanations on how to
> improve my personal statement were detailed and organized. I’m very glad I
> chose The PA Life to help me with my personal statement and point me in the
> right direction. Thank you very much!
Phillip, Pre-PA
> This past June, you helped me formulate my personal statement for my PA school
> applications. After our video chat and countless hours editing my CASPA
> information, I submitted my application and was then given the opportunity to
> interview at five PA programs. To prepare for my interviews, I would read my
> personal statement over and over again to remind myself of why I wanted to be
> a PA. This helped me succeed in my interviews. I was accepted to a few
> schools, but have I have made my final decision to matriculate into the
> University of Texas Medical Branch PA program in July! I wanted to follow up
> after I made my final decision to thank you for helping me with an important
> step to achieve this amazing life goal. Several of my friends are applying
> this upcoming cycle, and I will definitely be passing along your information.
> Again, thank you so much!
Kylie, Pre-PA
> Oh my gosh thank you SOO much!!! I have been so busy with school so I haven’t

Melat Ashagre, Pre-PA
> Sue did a wonderful job. I know this is an extremely busy time of year as
> CASPA is accepting applications and Sue was great about responding to my

> and quality editing. Fingers crossed for an acceptance to PA school!
Jo Lynn, Pre-PA
> This is just a great service overall, because not only is it an editing

Sabrina L. Pre-PA

Grant, Pre-PA
> I am very thankful for all of the work and time invested in me. I learned

Andrew N. Pre-PA

Amber, Pre-PA
> My editor with The PA Life was a grammar goddess! She provided amazing

Saniha, Pre-PA
> Sarah from The PA Life was an incredible resource for editing my personal

Travis, Pre-PA

> If you are reading this you might have been like me skeptical and trying to

Michele Williams, PA-S

John, Pre-PA
> Carly was extremely prompt and helpful! She helped edit my personal statement

Danielle, Pre-PA
> I really appreciated Duke and his way of cutting out the unnecessary fluff in

Ani S. Pre-PA

Matthew, Pre-PA

Catalina, Pre-PA

Valerie Charlton, Pre-PA

Melanie, PA-S

Celine, PRE-PA

Carly Bransky, Pre-PA

George, Pre-PA

Catalina Bulla, PA-S

> waitlisted applicant preparing for another application cycle, I submitted my
> essay to two other services at the same time and The PA Life gave the most
> helpful, detailed, and professional edit.
Jenn, Pre-PA
> I have used The PA Life services throughout my application process this year

> statement to convey my story of why I wanted to be a PA. I felt very confident
> in submitting my statement thanks to her review and was later invited for my
> first interview! The mock interview service was EXTREMELY helpful. Sarah
> provided excellent feedback during our session on how I could better rephrase
> my responses to make them stronger, but still, sound natural and true to
> myself. The session eased a lot of the interview nerves I had that come
> interview day I felt pretty confident. I’m proud to say that after my first
> interview, I was accepted! Thank you, Sarah, for all of your help throughout
> my PA journey!
Amanda B, Pre-PA
> Sarah did such an excellent job editing my personal statement that I wanted

> She really took my essays to a whole new level and had good suggestions. I’m
> recommending her to my peers.
Emily Crenshaw, Pre-PA

Winnie, Pre-PA

Madison Pre-PA
> Mr. Pasquini was very patient, accommodating and direct in his editing/advice.

Shane, Pre-PA
> I came into this with a half written personal statement and not a lot of time

> Keeping my fingers crossed as I submit my applications!
Celine, PRE-PA
> Sue was extremely prompt and thoughtful in providing her comments, edits, and
> revisions. My essay had a good start but she helped me write it with
> admissions committees in mind. I will keep you updated on if I get interview
> invitations.
Kirsten, Pre-PA
> Carly blew away all my expectations. She not only suggested edits to refine
> the content, but she also made grammatical and structural changes that
> fine-tuned my essay and allowed it to flow. I came into the editing process
> feeling hopeless about my personal statement, but with her edits, I feel
> confident that it will stand out. On top of all that, Carly was very timely in
> editing and returning my essay – I got it back within a few days! I’m very
> pleased with her service and recommend it to anyone out there who needs a
> fresh, professional set of eyes on their personal statement.
Stephanie, Pre-PA
> We worked on my essays back in summer and oh, how much work it was! But it all

Jennifer, H Pre-PA
> Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience. She was prompt, attentive, and

> this service to anyone applying to PA school.
Ashley, Pre-PA
> I just wanted to share that I got into USC! Woohoo!!! They just called me to
> share the good news. I’m feeling pretty shocked since that interview did not
> go as well in my head. I can’t believe I got into school during my first round
> of applications. This would not have been possible without you, and I really
> appreciate all the support you gave me throughout this process. 😊
Tiffany, PA-S
> I just wanted to email you and let you know that 3 weeks post-interview with

> and I know that your help, helped me. So, thank you!
Cailin, PA-S
> I just wanted to give you an update! So far I have had two interviews and been
> accepted to both! I have three more interviews scheduled as of right now, and
> still waiting to hear from a handful of schools. Thank you so much for all of
> your help with my essay!
Jennifer Bidwell, PA-S
> Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She not only helped take my personal statement
> to the best level, but she also made it easy to understand why certain changes
> were better. In the end, she went through and used a highlighting method to
> show how we connected things to PA and skills that were good. This made it
> easier to visualize everything. I’d recommend Sarah to anyone applying to PA
> school that needs that extra push on their personal statements.
Taylor, Pre-PA
> I’ve had several people look at my essay in an effort to gauge whether the
> content was strong and to help clean it up and cut characters – none were as
> helpful as Carly. Carly’s editing truly helped make a difference in the
> quality of the essay, and while there’s still quite a bit of character cutting
> I have to do, I am more prepared now than I was before. I am so happy I chose
> to work with The PA Life.
Kristen, Pre-PA
> My editor did an excellent job with my essays. I struggle with writing

Danielle, Pre-PA
> Susan did a fantastic job of editing my essay! She guided me and gave me
> suggestions for strengthening certain sections and equally took out weak

> for your help. I feel that I have a stronger essay because of your honest
> feedback and your help!
Patrick, Pre-PA
> Having my essay edited proved extremely helpful. I was having trouble

> acceptance yet. I’m just now about to submit my application!
Amber, Pre-PA
> I thought that the service was very helpful in helping me with my personal
> statement. Duke was always prompt with responding to emails and made himself
> very available throughout the process. He was also good and helping, but also
> making sure that I was the one doing the writing. I think that the structure
> of the service helped me put in enough time to come out with a very good
> finished product.
David H. Pre-PA
> Duke and I worked really well together. Seeing my first draft in comparison to
> my final draft was like night and day. I really appreciate all the help!
Kenzi H. Pre-PA

> incredibly quick manner, help me remove those blocks. I am very grateful!
Lily, Pre-PA
> Thank you so much for making the personal statement process less stressful!
> Although I had been planning and brainstorming for months, the process of
> writing my journey in 5,000 characters was just daunting and overwhelming.
> Thank you so much for your kindness, flexibility, and your patience that
> helped me through this process. I appreciate how you listened and incorporated
> my feedback to make my personal statement a work of art that is truly
> representative of ME! I would highly recommend your services to any aspiring

> thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Nancy Peterson, Pre-PA

Rachael Thomas, PA-S
> Sarah is the best! She gets me and puts all her efforts for my message to come
> across in a clear and concise way. Obviously, her editing skills are superb!
> But she also has a very sweet and pleasant way of being. I highly recommend

> received an interview, but keeping my fingers crossed!
Raquel Poliwoda Pre-PA
> I had an overall great experience working with Duke. He was open to my
