The Perfect PA Program Picker: PA School Search, Sort, Match, and Apply

By 38 Comments

PA School Admissions and Requirements Table

Search and sort through all accredited and developing PA school programs by healthcare experience, resident and non-resident PA school tuition, PA program duration, GRE requirements, overall GPA, prerequisite GPA, and science GPA requirements. Search by PA program accreditation status, CASPA participation, PA school class size, five-year PANCE pass rates, and international student acceptance.

Once you have refined and narrowed your search you can print, copy, and export your results as an Excel file below which you can use during the current year CASPA application cycle. Please submit update requests in the comments section below.

The Perfect PA Program Picker

This is an interactive table. Click on the column label at the top of the table to sort the table by a single requirement. You may also use the advanced filter section below to manually input multiple variables to narrow your search further. For example, GPA 2.5-3.0, State: California, and GRE: Not Required. The table will update in real-time.

You can watch a video demonstration of how to input your search variables by clicking here.

  1. How recently was this list updated? I’ve found some incorrect information when comparing the list to actual school requirements.

    Reply

    • Hi Elizabeth! I plan to update this table along with the paschoolfinder.com website in January 2023 with the latest data. But even after the update it is important to double check and make sure that information here corresponds with the latest data on the PA program’s website as things change constantly.

  2. Hi,

    I am trying to share this with a friend looking into PA schools but I cannot can the table to sort any criteria. I have tried in Chrome and Microsoft without success. The table is grayed out and has a thinking circle which does not go away if refreshed. Is there any way to get this fixed?

    Thanks!

  6. Hey Stephen,

    Thank you SO much for this incredibly useful tool! This may sound like a silly question, but for the tuition column, is that the total cost or that per year/semester?

    Thank you again!

  10. Hi,
    I’d like to use the program picker. I put in Ohio, just see a wheel spin on the screen of schools. I’ve tried safari and chrome. Any advice for me? I’d love to use it.

    Thanks!

    • Hi Kim, I just tried searching for state “Ohio” in Chrome on Windows 10 and iOS and did get a list of 12 PA programs. Is it possible you have your device set to block Javascript?

  11. Thank you for making this database for all future PA’s. I have a suggestion. How about making a box for prerequisites especially organic chemistry and genetics for example not required organic chemistry, genetics
    That would be helpful as well!

    Thank you for what you are doing for us all!

  12. Good morning Steven,
    The PA program picker sounds like a wonderful idea. I was hoping to give it a try however I seem to be getting a table error on both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Please advise. Thank you.

  13. HI Stephen,

    I’ve had no success accessing the PA Program Picker and get the error message below. I’ve tried both Chrom and Safari and looked at the info about the error message. I enabled and added Develop to the toolbar with no luck. I’d really like to use this feature as I’m applying for the next cycle. Can you help with this?

    DataTables warning: table id=table_1 – Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1

    • Hi Conner, this is interesting. I’m checking it now and it seems to be working fine on my end – I am using a Windows 10 PC with the latest version of Google Chrome. Can you share with me your current setup? Are you on Mac or PC? What browser and version? Then I can troubleshoot and see what may be causing the problem. I wonder if others are also having the same problem you are?

      • Hi Stephen!
        Thanks so much for putting this together!
        I’m having the same issue with this table. I can’t download it either. I’ve used Chrome, Firefox, and IE. My PC is running Windows 10. I’ll try from my Mac later. Any tips on how to get the table to work for me?
        Thank you!

      • Hi Stephen,

        I am having the same issue that was mentioned by Rikesh. It seems to only be a problem during non-work day hours. I have tried to use the table around 8-9pm Eastern Time the past few nights and the error will pop up. However, if I use the table earlier in the day then I will not have these issues. Any ideas here?

        Thanks,
        Karlee

  14. Hi Stephen,

    I was able to access the table to narrow down pa schools with my specific requirements earlier last week however I am not able to access to the table this week. I’ve tried multiple computers and throughout the week. Is this something you can fix?

    Thanks,
    Susan

  15. For the search “Accepts International Students:” some schools will accept current US citizens who did their undergraduate in a foreign country. For example, Touro University in California. If you are in this category, don’t eliminate those 67 programs that say “don’t accept international students” before double checking with each program!

  16. Hi Stephen : )

    First, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to make such an invaluable resource available to the community! Although much of this information can be found on individual program websites, ARC-PA, or CASPA, it’s both beneficial and efficient for information to be collected into one table. Your “PA Program Picker” is perfect for comparative analysis. With that said, I’d like to respectfully bring to your attention that some of the information available for review is inaccurate. This came to my attention under both the GRE Requirement and Accreditation categories. Also, I created my own Excel version that includes some of the information requested in the comments utilizing your “PA Program Picker” as a template. Given that it’s essentially yours (thank you again), I’m happy to share it with you (if you don’t mind looking at an overly used pink color coding system). I could also remove the pink I suppose ; ) Thanks again, I’m appreciative of your website! -Christina

    Great job, nice work, but since I have many young men and women who are discouraged about the PA profession, I would suggest one other form of info, if you can get it from the programs, what is the average GPA for students being accepted, who cares what the requirement is for GPA, its who gets accepted, if I was applying for PA school I wouldn’t have any shot at getting a look, after 37 years as a PA, and a military trained, why are their not more schools like Yale, who should be doing online programs or programs who train nothing but ex military medical personnel, if I had the money, I would make it happen. Skills are being lost because of GPAs. Just because you have a 4.0 GPA doesn’t mean you can handle life and death situations because you are smart. and I don’t need people giving me crap because I’m calling you out. their are many of us who are not as smart and we got through pa school, we survived, and we have been doing it for years, I would like every program to start at 2.5. Remember not everyone finishes first, and their are a lot of PAs who graduated at the bottom half of their class. Again, Stephen, great job, I have already passed this info to four of the young men and women I work with.

    • Hi Thomas, I think sometimes it just has to do with program laziness. You are right, by choosing to require a very high GPA or GRE score programs are missing out on A LOT of exceptional candidates.

    • 100%!!! GRE, GPA, and grades from Freshman/Sophomore year are not a true indication of the type of medical professional/PA a person will become. Many students struggle with adjusting to college life and the Freshman year grades may suffer or they simply don’t have a direction/pathway. I get so frustrated at standardized testing, pre-reqs, grades, etc. How about we test them in a cadaver lab, make them go through a CNA program or have them work as a first responder, then we can get an idea of what they are truly made of and potential as a medical professional?

  18. Thanks for making this excel spreadsheet…..could you please update it with the following fields….deadline to apply by (as color coded by caspa), gre score requirement, whether having an advanced degree will allow one to bypass the gre, ideal applicant stats, program reputation (how old is the program)?

    Thanks again!
