Testimonials

It was a wonderful service and was very helpful. I received an invitation to an interview at Salus University and I am waiting to hear from other schools.

Lauren C. Pre-PA

I was so glad that I chose to have Duke look over my essay, he turned it from long, rambling, and scattered to a much more concise, well written essay. I really feel as though it represents me well! Duke always responded quickly and I felt as though I got a lot of value for the money. Thank you!

Jennifer B. Pre-PA

I just wanted to update you on my PA school interview! The interview went pretty well overall. I thought I answered two of the questions well and connected well with the faculty. I struggled some with two of the questions. But as we practiced, I took a breathe and spent time thinking about the questions and answering them logically. Time wasn’t an issue at all. I thought we were given just enough time to respond to the questions thoroughly without rambling. A few days after my interview, I heard back from Western University and I was accepted into the class of 2020! I believe the mock interview helped me tremendously. I didn’t really have the chance to go over the questions you sent me after the interview because I wanted to get enough sleep but I feel that it would have helped more if I practiced with your earlier. Anyhow, I just wanted to update you with good news! Thank you!

Chan Park, PA-S

Carly was excellent! Not only did she make my essay much more compelling, but she understood the deadlines I wanted to reach and helped me do that! 10/10!!

Jesse Cordova, Pre-PA

I was extremely stressed out about writing my personal statement, and finally decided to search the internet for advice and assistance. I came across the personal statement editing service on the PA Life, and decided to give it a try. I received a response within a day, and my stress was instantly relieved. I worked personally with Duke to edit my statement, and he is a phenomenal writer. He didn’t change the content of my statement, but rather helped me tell my story in a way that is much more desirable! I cannot recommend this service enough to others seeking help on their personal statement. Duke was friendly, sincere, and definitely experienced! I felt 100% confident in his editing abilities, and we worked together the entire time so that we were both pleased with the results! Thanks again, Duke, for all of your help!

Chelsie W. Pre-PA

Very helpful! Many of my responses needed fine tuning, some of them needed a bit more in-depth work, and a few of them hit the nail on the head. Feedback from an impartial professional like Sarah is crucial in figuring out what I’m doing right, what I’m doing wrong, and how I can improve moving forward. Thank you!

Brian ceballos, 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

I give this a 10/10 and would recommend utilizing this tool! I had gone on three interviews this cycle before I took a chance on a mock interview. My last two interviews after speaking with Sarah went AMAZING! One waitlist and one acceptance, both my top two programs! I can’t recommend this enough. Seriously, swallow your pride and use the help. I received so many helpful notes and left my final interview saying “I think I got in,” and I DID! Thank you, PA life 🙂

Mika K, Pre-PA

Duke helped me with my personal essay writing for PA school. He was very patient and helpful with me. I made lots of mistake on my Essay, but with Duke’s help I was able to write a sensible essay which was good enough to get Interview calls. I highly recommend his service.

Rajni M, 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 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!

Patrick, Pre-PA

Thank you again for doing the mock interview with me a few weeks ago. The interview at St. John’s University went very well, and I received an acceptance letter this week! The interview helped me so much and allowed me to fine-tune my answers, thank you again.

Colleen, Pre-PA

Your services have eased the stress and anxiety that results from guessing whether or not your essay contains the content that many PA programs are looking for. Your services were prompt and genuine. It is clear that you have the applicants success at heart. Thank you!

Madison Holtz

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 did an absolutely amazing job editing my essays. From my personal statement to my supplementals, she was thorough and methodically made them into stronger essays. I am glad I was able to work with her. With her edits, I am more confident about the essays I am submitting. I would gladly recommend her to anyone!

Jacob, PRE-PA

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

Sue was a huge help with my essay. Her edits made my essay sound much better grammatically and she pointed out some content problems I completely missed. She prompted me to write a few more paragraphs before her edit and added the information into my essay. That made a big difference. She was very knowledgable about what PA programs were looking for. I am really happy with your service. Worth every penny, THANKS!

Megan Stephenson, Pre-PA

First of all, thank you so much for all of the resources you have made available for those of us studying for the PANRE! This is fabulous and wish I’d known about it sooner.

Kristin F. PA-C

I took my PANRE and I passed! I really liked your review website. It was very helpful. I only wish I would have discovered it months ago, while preparing for the PANRE. This is my 4th time passing in my career, and I now qualify for not having to recert until 10 years from now. Thank God! but will remember your site and recommend it to others.

Thanks again,

Maureen

Maureen Kilrain PA-C

This is the absolute best way to prep for the PANRE. I have worked as PA-C since 1999. Family Practice is my area of expertise. My first time I decided not to study and take the test and see how I would do. I barely missed passing the test. A little frustrating but not a big deal. Now it is time to study. I looked at a number of systems and decided to use SmartyPANCE and the PA Life Academy. I did modify it by just taking test questions over a two month period and allowing the questions to teach me. I easily passed and improved my score by over 50 points. My take away is to continue the daily questions Stephen sends out and then taking tests and researching areas I need to shore up. Thanks Stephen for a practical approach to PANRE.

Gregory Bickel, PA-C

I have used The PA Life services throughout my application process this year and I am 100% satisfied! Sarah helped me with my personal statement and mock interviewing. As a second time applicant, she really helped me strengthen my 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

I want to say that my first-round interview went phenomenal and I am beyond thankful that I scheduled this mock interview with Sarah. She really helped me feel less nervous and confident in my answers. Her advice was very helpful and I will take the lessons that I learned with me for future interviews. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone with even the slightest bit of nervousness and doubt. It is worth the time and money

Kristyn, Pre-PA

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your encouraging posts. I cannot tell you how many times I have had a rough day, or something happened to discourage me, and then I read one of your posts & it reminds me of why I am where I am, and doing what I am doing. I appreciate you giving of yourself to help others, after all, it is why we are all here!

Amber Wood BarnardPA-S

I felt this 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 caliber of questions asked 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. I’m more than happy with Sarah’s professionalism, guidance, support, and feedback and will be recommending this service, as well as recommending Sarah by name, to future Pre-PA students.

Courtney A. Pre-PA

I knocked the PANRE out of the park in May. Your website was so helpful!! Thanks for keeping it affordable….you smoke the in-person review courses!

Morgan Miller, PA-C

I just wanted to let you know that I got accepted to the first school I interviewed at! I am so grateful for you helping me to feel more confident on the interview day. Thanks for all you do!!

Haley, Pre-PA

I love this site! It is a huge help to many of us future PA’s. Thank you so much!

Ashleypre PA-S

Dear Lisa,

Thank you so much for your help with my statement. The process was everything I could have wanted and more. You were wonderful to work with and I appreciate very much how you were able to connect to my personal experiences and combine that with the traits that you know make a statement successful. I have applied to my first two PA schools and I owe a big part of that to you!

Once again, Thank you very much!

Louis T. Pre-PA

Sue Edmondson was VERY thorough in her editing of my essay, as well as the promptness of her responses to me. She not only took the time to edit the grammar of my essay but helped me remove a large portion of it to focus on the important aspects of it and draw in more details. Overall, a fantastic service!

Megan Hunstad, Pre-PA

I am very thankful for all of the work and time invested in me. I learned incredible amounts from Duke about writing. Though some of it didn’t make sense to me, I knew he was right and I learned to trust him. He helped me more than any of the other dozen people I had trusted with my essay. This is such a big part of my future and my dreams and I honestly appreciate all of his work to help me get in. Thank you, Duke.

Andrew N. Pre-PA

I was very pleased working with Duke on my personal statement. I’m currently in the middle of applying to PA school, so I haven’t heard back from the programs. I’m looking forward to the experience though.

John R. Pre-PA

You probably don’t remember me, but about a year ago you helped edit my personal statement to get into PA school! I just wanted to let you know that I got interviews and was accepted to all the schools I applied to! I have decided to attend UAB in the fall! Thank you again for all your help!

Lauren Smith, PA-S

My mock interview experience last night was so more helpful than expected. I was able to use the Zoom software that I will be using for my interview as well, and Ms. Schultz provided me with very valuable feedback and suggestions. I feel much more confident and prepared for my upcoming interview.

Carson Powell, Pre-PA

Sarah was the best thing to happen to my personal statement. I write pretty well but after her polishing method, all my ideas flowed a lot smoother. She was very accommodating to all my suggestions and was prompt in her responses. I will most definitely recommend my friends to take advantage of this service as well as request Sarah for their needs.

Saumil Shah, PRE-PA

I’ve been telling everybody that I come into contact with about the incredible value of your service and that I directly attribute your editing as a reason I got into two schools this academic cycle and received 8 invitations to interview. All the best! Read more at http://www.thepaessay.com

Jeremy Cohen Pre-PA

I felt the caliber of questions asked 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. I’m more than happy with Sarah’s professionalism, guidance, support, and feedback and will be recommending this service, as well as recommending Sarah by name, to future Pre-PA students.

Jacob A. Pre-PA

I wanted to reach out and thank you for your help with my personal statement. I received compliments about my essay at every interview I had. I also wanted to let you know that I will be attending Duke’s PA Program – my top choice. Your help was amazing! Thank you so much again!

Kelli Tseng, PA-S

I greatly appreciate the help because it answered questions and doubts I had about my personal statement. I feel much more confident in submitting to CASPA. Thank you very much, Sue!

Sarah, Pre-PA

Sarah is truly amazing! She gave me so many helpful tips and advice for my future interviews. She has a beautiful way with words. I am so grateful for her and look forward to working with her again.

Kiara B. Pre-PA

Sue was very quick to edit my essay and give feedback. Any questions were answered very promptly. I am very pleased with the service provided.

Brandon, Pre-PA

I just want to thank you for this post, and for this entire website. It has been and will continue to be an essential component on my path to becoming a Physician Assistant.

Samantha D. Pre-PA

Just wanted to say thank you for your speedy and encouraging reply. I forwarded this on to some of my classmates as well, just as a nice pep-talk before we head into this new chapter. You rock!!

DaniellePA-S

Add me to the list of successful users. I have already recommended the site to several of my friends who sit for the exam next year. Hopefully, this will be my last time taking the PANRE before retirement now that we are on a 10 year cycle. Thank you for a great product!

Lynn Reid, PA-C

I wanted to let you know that after 4 interviews and 4 waitlists, I was informed a seat opened up at my number one school Drexel in Philadelphia!! So I have officially enrolled in a PA program. This feeling is the lightest I have ever felt and it is incredible. Aside from myself and my mom who has emotionally supported me through this all, you were a huge part of making this happen. I cannot thank you enough for helping tell my story. If you ever want a review to be written somewhere, I would be glad to write one. I have nothing but respect for your talent in listening and translating someone’s intention and experiences into a rounded and full story. Thank you again.

Sarah, R PA-S

I have great news!! I GOT IN!!! I am officially an enrolled student in the Methodist University PA program. I just wanted to thank you again for this service you provide and how great you were while interviewing me! I needed a confidence boost, and this gave it to me! I am sincerely grateful for the PA Life and your service! I will absolutely pass this on to everyone I know who is going into PA. Thanks again!

Megan H. PA-S

Very down to earth and willing to answer any questions I had pertaining to the interview (even about my outfit). The feedback was constructive and productive. I ended up getting an offer after my interview.

Michael D. Pre-PA

I wanted to shoot you a quick email to let you know that after what seemed like an eternal wait, I’ve been accepted to my top choice – MBKU. Thank you for your help and input while I was prepping for the interview. I’m elated and still shocked that my dreams are coming true and I’m so much closer to becoming a PA. Thank you again! I hope you had a wonderful new year celebration and are doing well.

Lora G, PA-S

I just took my NCCPA PANRE test four weeks ago and PASSED! So just a quick thank you for developing such a complete and user friendly NCCPA PANCE and PANRE preparation program. As a Physician Assistant family man, and between work and daily responsibilities there is not much time to prep for the NCCPA exam, however this program was all I needed to help me succeed on my test. I would definitely endorse this program to any PA who needs to prepare for their upcoming NCCPA boards. Keep up the good work!

David Aponte, PA-C

Good morning. I purchased a three-month trial of SMARTYPANCE with the hopes of using it as an adjunct to other study materials that I had purchased. Almost immediately, I ditched everything else and used your website exclusively. I work full time and I have two little ones at home, so just like everyone else, it was hard for me to manage my time. My certification is ending this year and I timed it so that if I didn’t pass, I’d have another opportunity to re-take it in December if I failed. I just found out this morning that I passed my PANRE! I studied for one {stressful} month, and though I wouldn’t advise cramming everything in such a short period of time, your website really helped me so much. Thank you for putting all of this content out there for us. You are amazing!

Jenssen Parungao, PA-C

I have been struggling for a long time deciding if I want to go to medical school or PA school. I have wanted to be a doctor my entire life and I was so hesitant to give that up to be a PA but then I read your article “Why My Wife is Happy I’m a PA and not an MD“. I wanted to sincerely thank you for this because this was what I was searching for. Something that told me I wasn’t lazy or not smart enough to become an MD. I had been searching for this for so long. After I read this article, I called my mom to tell her I decided on PA school instead of med school and I felt so relieved. I myself have the same love for medicine as you do and I also have a love for helping people and the social aspect of medicine. Thank you for helping me realize this is what I want to do. I cannot wait to see where this profession takes me!

Jane A. Pre-PA

Sarah is absolutely amazing and really helped transform my essay into the best version it could have possibly been!

Shannon B. Pre-PA

This was my third time applying to PA school and I wanted it to be my last so I figured getting help with the essay would make a difference in my application. Paying for the one on one service was the best idea I’ve had to date. Sarah was great in that she literally combined three different essays I had written into one phenomenal essay! I literally have no idea how she did it. Sarah helped me focus all of my thoughts and experience down into one concise, yet personal essay. I truly think this will help me get into PA school!

Anna M. PRE-PA

Stephen, I want to thank you for creating the Podcast and of course the academy website.
I just took my Panre for the 2nd time and I passed. I can’t thank you enough for your creativity, humor, and innovation when creating such great tools for all of us.

I have been a PA for 13 years and I was so worried about the PANRE given that now I have 2 small kids, have a coaching business, and work full time as a PA as well. I listened to your podcasts daily for 3 months. I did your tests on the academy and I am so grateful for how refreshing your programs are.

If you ever need a testimonial somewhere else please contact me. Of course I will recommend your program to everyone.

Big hug and big thanks from a happy fellow PA.

Sincerely,
gina

Gina, PA-C

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

This is Tyler. I hope you remember helping me with my essay back in May. As promised, I wanted to update you with news of my PA school journey and I am excited to tell you that I was accepted to Stony Brook’s PA program!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping me write an essay that was truly reflective of who I am as a candidate and as a person! It played a pivotal role in this whole nerve-racking process and has helped me achieve a major life goal. You are a godsend to Pre-PA students.

Tyler, PA-S

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

I am so happy to tell you that I got into my choice of PA school here in MI! As a matter of fact, since our mock interview, I have gotten into 3 programs! I must say the prep I had with you adequately prepared me for these interviews. I want to say another BIG THANK YOU.

Oluseyi Sotade, PRE-PA

I really felt the person who edited my essay, Sue Edmondson, took the time to get to know me as a person because she wanted my essay to reflect exactly who I am. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the edits and revisions she has given me along with the reasoning behind each revision.

Nicala, Pre-PA

AMAZING EDITS. Really opened my eyes to a new perspective of what a personal statement should really be like!

Jasmine, Pre-PA

Awesome service. Duke did a great job editing my personal statement – his feedback was top-notch. For the 2014-2015 cycle, I applied to one school. I was selected for an interview and yesterday I received an offer of admission … which I quickly accepted. I know my Personal Statement played a huge role in my success. I highly recommend this service.

Nikki, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know that I was totally accepted into my top choice program! I got one interview request and one acceptance! Thank you so very much for helping me prepare for my interview. It was way more challenging than the year before and I don’t think I would have been able to get in if you hadn’t helped me find the line between personable and professional. I value your feedback and am eternally grateful!

Tiffany Ryder, PA-S

This is fantastic service that gave me valuable feedback and boosted my overall confidence before going into the real interview. I had my first interview two weeks ago and it went very well. I heard back this morning and I was accepted into my top pick PA School.

Lily B. Pre-PA

I love your site and think that it is the most enjoyable studying resource that I have use so far.

David PA-S

This was an extremely helpful process! I still have work to do on my essay but Sue was very helpful by giving me criticism I needed to hear from an unbiased source as well as being very fast responding! I think this will help me moving forward and having a strong application!

Morgan Rial, Pre-PA

I am taking my PANRE in 2 months so I was delighted to find this podcast and take it with me on my 30-minute commute to work. Having 10 Questions per episode breaks the material down to manageable “chunks” and learning with test questions seems appropriate given that is what we will be facing come test day. So happy to have this podcast, can’t thank you enough!

Sharon Trudel, PA-C

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

I was at a point where I kept reading my essay over and over again and not knowing what to change. After Sue looked over and thoroughly edited the essay, I had a completely new focus! I knew exactly what to tweak and her service really cleared up any uncertainty I had with my essay. I’m now much more confident as I finish up my CASPA applications!

Julia Spalding, Pre-PA

I 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!

Nancy Peterson, Pre-PA

I worked with Duke to edit and complete my essay. It was a terrific experience that I would recommend to everyone! Duke has an amazing ability to help you move things around and change it a little, while still making it feel like 100% your own work. We talked out every change we made, and we both conceded to each other in different places. He made extra time for me when I got stressed out about the deadline, and worked with me for a while each time we sat down. I paid $199 for this service, and I think that was the best bargain I ever got! I have been invited back to submit supplemental applications to some schools, and I will keep the team updated about my interviews. Thanks Duke!!!

Carly Bransky, Pre-PA

I wanted to give you an update and thank you. I just received my first acceptance and at the interview, they commented on how well written my personal statement was. I appreciate your hard work and working with me to create such an awesome piece! Hopefully, this won’t be the last time we talk- maybe our paths will cross again one day!

Janne Kim, Pre-PA

Thank you Stephen for your website. I passed the panre! Praise god!

Katherine Phan Yee, PA-C

Stephen,
Thank you for your help and the resources you linked me to, I will keep studying and keep you informed on my progress, I hope one day to help a student like myself pass and enter a great profession.

Anthony MaharajPT, PA, MPAS.

Just want to say- Thank you for your website. I just passed the recert and it was thank to your recommendations of review material.

KennyPA-C

I really respect your advice and the good example that you set as a PA and as a husband and father. You’re great!

SamPre PA-S

I wanted to check-in and pass on some great news – I GOT INTO PA SCHOOL! I am going to be a Trojan PA! Thank you so much for helping me make this possible! Thank you for giving me the confidence to take on the interview process.. as none other than myself. I am very excited and wanted to pass along the great news. I’ll always be sure to refer any prospective students your way.

Anise, Pre-PA

We worked on my essays back in summer and oh, how much work it was! But it all paid off because I just got accepted into the school of my first choice! Thank you so much for your time and dedication to my success. I will also be glad to recommend your services to other pre-PA students at my school!

Jennifer, H Pre-PA

Duke really pushed me to write from the heart and explore my true reasons for applying to PA school. I was very pleased with the outcome. I haven’t yet received an interview, but my fingers are crossed!

Emily P. Pre-PA

Sarah was so sweet, very insightful, and extremely helpful. I feel like we accomplished a lot, and she gave me some excellent ideas for how to improve. This is an amazing service, I’m so happy I took advantage of it. Thank you!

Tessa, Pre-PA

I loved how friendly and informative the Mock Interview process was. I got very helpful insight into how to phrase my responses while remaining unique. I signed up for the service after receiving two interview invitations. I was offered automatic acceptance to both programs within 6 days!

Andre, Pre-PA

I am not sure if you remembered me, but you helped me exactly a year ago with my PA essay. Well, I got accepted into Barry’s PA program! I start this Monday. You were part of my journey and I wanted to say THANK YOU!

Catalina Bulla, PA-S

I enjoyed this mock interview process. Sarah was super helpful and provided honest and constructive feedback which is exactly what I was looking for. She helped me prepare for my MMI interview coming up in 2 weeks and the questions helped me know what to expect when it comes to interview day. Also, I appreciate the affordability of the mock interview. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is trying to practice and prepare for their physician assistant school interview.

Cydni M. Pre-PA

Thank you for that awesome and impassioned testimonial for PA school, you have definitely tipped the balance for me and confirmed much of what I was already pondering.

Jack Gerstnerpre PA-S

I want to thank you for everything! I purchased the 3 month membership prior to my PANCE. I just found out I passed! The setup and links to Brian Wallace’s podcasts were perfect!

Garrett Wilson, PA-C

This service was invaluable – I felt decent about my essay, but it’s remarkably better. I appreciate the level of detail and courtesy even with my discounted rate. You guys are too great!

Taylor Hamstra, Pre-PA

I had a mock interview with Sarah earlier this week – my true interview was the morning, and I really can’t give Sarah enough praise. She was extremely helpful and made the mock interview very personalized to my specific background. She didn’t feed me “good answers,” she instead gave me great insight into my own ideas and ways I could touch on them more effectively. I went into this morning feeling more confident than I would have without her help. I’m so thankful I did this!

Samantha Morgan, 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 initial submission and getting back to me. She provided thoughtful feedback and quality editing. Fingers crossed for an acceptance to PA school!

Jo Lynn, Pre-PA

Just took and passed the PANCE!! I breezed through the test and scored well. Your course was a huge help in preparing. Both knowledge and test-taking skills. I would highly recommend this to others.

Karen Hendricks PA-C

The Physician Assistant Life Academy is THE best review/practice site I have ever found. The tests are awesome, the explanations spot on.

Karol Bauman, PA-C

Just found your site today while trying to update my resume. Also, I have to recertify next year so your tests are great for a refresher course. I was in a specialty area of medicine so I now realize how much I forgot in the past 5 years. Thank you very much and I will pass on to other PAs.

Sue did an exemplary job at editing my personal statement. Her service was particularly useful once my essay was ready for fine polishing and trimming down – she really pulled the fat off leaving the meat of my personal statement remaining. I would recommend this service to others.

Sarah, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know I heard back from UW yesterday and I got into Medex! Thank you so much for all your helpful feedback and words of encouragement. It was more helpful than you know!

Sarah, 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

An amazing experience. Glad to have worked with Duke. He did his best, and it was very enjoyable.

Anand T. Pre-PA

Thank you for every bit you do to help people maneuver through the PA life. And, especially for the book!

Scott J. Huber Pre-PA

Duke went above and beyond to help me. I so appreciate his help and would recommend this service to anyone!

Jessica H. Pre-PA

I had an overall great experience working with Duke. He was open to my suggestions and provided great feedback on my essay. So far I haven’t gotten any interviews yet, but it is still early in the process. I will keep you updated when I get interviews. Steve

Steve Koehler, PA-S

I was interviewed and accepted into 4 of the programs I applied to (including my #1)! I am sharing because I want to say thank you so much for these questions! I went over them and they helped me feel extremely prepared, and that confidence definitely translated well during my interviews! I finally feel ecstatic when I think about my career path, and having the ability to finally work with patients, hopefully in a clinical trail setting where I can really be an asset, is more than I ever hoped for up until now. So thank you thank you thank you!

Laurin, PA-S

I graduated from PA school in May and failed my first attempt at the PANCE in July. I was not nearly as prepared as I should have been and in the following 90 days, I developed into a completely different PA. I listened to all of your podcasts, took every practice test (at least once), and got both the daily question emails and the daily eponym emails. My second attempt at the PANCE was earlier in October and I went into it with so much more confidence than I had after receiving the news that I failed the first time.

I really appreciate all the work you do to make studying for the PANCE fun… well at least tolerable… and I will definitely recommend your program to next years graduating class.

Thank you! thank you! thank you!

Christopher M., PA-C

Just stumbled upon your website and am so relieved!! I have an hour’s drive each way to work daily and visit several facilities in the course of a day. I am so happy I can utilize audio as well as all of the other references you provide! Thank you for your effort in pulling this all together. Can’t wait to get started! Taking your advice and picking a date now!

Maggie McKnight PA-C

I worked closely with Duke and Sue for the revisions on my personal statement. They must have edited my original version half a dozen times before they felt it was good enough to send off and never made it seem like an inconvenience. They always responded to my e-mails within a 24-hour time frame but usually got back to me within a few hours. I am very pleased with how my personal statement turned out thanks to all of their time, ideas and direction. The service the PA Life provides is well worth the money spent!

Michelle Murphy, PA-S

Just completed the PANRE and passed quite comfortably. I used your practice exams as part of my preparation. They were quite helpful for question format and content. Thanks for providing such a useful service.
