 What's up you guys? It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. Okay. So it is interview time, application time for PA school. And for some of you, this is going to be a very nice time of year, you know, because you're going to get your acceptances. But for some of you, you're going to get a rejection or a denial from the PA program that you were interested in. And because of that, it's not going to be that happy of a time. And so I am going to give you guys the top three reasons why you are not getting into PA school. So if you are a re-applicant or if you have a multiple re-applicant and you are or you are just concerned about getting into PA school, this video is for you. Let's get into the video right now. What's up you guys? It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. Okay. So like I said, I know I'm like small and stuff, not necessarily a happy subject. But honestly, I think that these points that I'm going to make are going to be very beneficial to you. So that hopefully, you know, this helps you get into PA school because that's what this channel is all about, right? Helping you get into like through PA school, making this process easy. So I'm going to give you three reasons. The top three reasons I believe that people are not getting into PA school. And so my number one reason is going to be at the end. So you got to stay to the end, but we'll start off with the number three reason. So the number three reason I believe that people aren't getting into PA school, especially if you have been given an invitation to interview is you're not interviewing, right? Okay. So maybe you get really nervous in front of a group setting or maybe you get really nervous in front of the one-on-one. And for you, you have no idea how that interview is going to be. So it is important to practice, practice in front of your peers, practice in front of your family, practice in front of your mirror, whatever it is, you know, get a coach to help you practice, but you really need to practice various different interview styles and various different interview questions because you have no idea what each school that you're going to apply to is going to, what their interview style is going to be. And it's important for you to be not only familiar but comfortable with all of these various different interview styles. Another thing is that you're being interviewed from the moment you walk in through the door. So you have to not only like be confident and nice, but you have to be on your guard, but also be exude that confidence, right? On your guard, but yet still be calm if you know what I mean. Like you have to be able to show that I can handle this, I'm about this, I got this, but at the same time not be too cocky and also be welcoming and warm and inviting. So that is the third reason that I think you're not getting into PA school. The second reason you're not getting into PA school is your personal statement. So likely your personal statement needs some work. I mean, I was in that boat. You guys, like my personal statement, you guys have seen that old one and the new one, okay? It was horrible. And that is why when people are doing consultation sessions and things like that, they want personal statement reviews. They want mock interviews because these are things, these are the areas where you're actually like falling short. So if you cannot review your personal statement on your own, because likely you've gone through it so many times, like some of the mistakes that another person would see, you kind of gloss past it because you've read the statement so many times. It is important to get someone else to read it, be that a friend, a family member, your teacher and professor, whoever it is, or, you know, another coach or a consultant, you have to go ahead and do that because it is important to get other eyes on that statement to make sure that it is in tip-top condition for your application. And the number one reason why you're not getting into PA school is because you haven't done your research. And I know you guys are like, okay, whatever, and I mean like, okay, do your research, you always say that, but it's true. Okay, it is absolutely true, you guys, you need to do your research. And I'm talking about your research on the schools that you're applying. So if you have not done your research, because the research encompasses everything that you really need for this application, for that interview, for your time in PA school, you need to know the stats, you need to know what the school is about, you need to know the prerequisite requirements that they're asking for, like what the GPA is, what the shadowing hours are, what the volunteer hours are, what the patient care experience hours need to be, and how you stack up against it. If you don't do your research and you really like line it up, then, you know, again, you can be like me in some of those boats where you don't meet the requirements. And if you don't meet the requirements, that's, you're done. You're already finished because there are going to be so many other people with their interview and their applications coming in that meet those requirements. And if you're not doing your research, if you're not paying attention to the details, like that is a red flag for PA schools, they're like, okay, well, you couldn't even read the instructions. Like, you know, like, why would I let you into PA school when you can't even like, follow some simple instructions on what you need to have to be able to apply to our program. So I think it's very important for you guys to keep that in mind. You need to make sure that you're practicing them interviews, make sure your personal statement is on par, and make sure you do your research. Okay, top three reasons for you right there.
