I'm coming to you guys every day this week in celebration of the launch of our new platform Get That C.

So go on over to GetThatCUniversity.com right now and sign up so you can be the first to know when the platform officially launches. But with respect to that celebration and going like live or coming at you every day this week I'm going to be answering you guys's questions every day. So I just want to get into it. So the first question that I wanted to answer was from Gerardo Gomez. He said, I graduated in May, have done a clinical medical assisting program in finishing my internship. Although application has strong points such as my stats clinical hours would be my weak point. Since I'm planning on getting my clinical hours in the new year how may I strengthen my personal statement with limited clinical hours at least the minimum to show programs that what I have done is quality PCE. Thank you Adana. All right well thank you Gerardo for this question and I'm going to answer it right now. So for me first and foremost you have to ensure that your clinical hours are quality hours right. So what does that look like? I think obviously it is personal or person based. Like for me my clinical hours as a CNA was quality clinical hours as opposed to my clinical hours as an HHA because I was doing more. But if your clinical hours are like being a firefighter or an EMT or something like that or a nurse then great like those are those are strong quality clinical hours. In such when you are now trying to highlight that in your personal statement you got to still take them on a journey. If you've looked at my other personal statement videos you know that I like when you guys bring the the reader into your story your personal life and you bring them on the journey. This is something that we will be addressing on Get That C University through a master class. We have a personal statement boot camp slash master class where you will learn how to structure your personal statement and then you'll get some tips in creative writing. So for you that's where you're going to now be creative. You found the story that you want to address and then you need to be creative be very very like show imagery so that people can experience what your experience on that clinical experience. So once you've done that that should be more than sufficient enough to ensure that your hours are shown as quality and the time that you've spent in those hours is quality. So you just have to pick a really good moment in the clinical hours or clinical experience that you've already had or that you will obtain in the future and then make sure that you are going back and forth and like just reviewing that personal statement so that is conveying exactly what you want. And the next question that I wanted to answer was from sincerely Shakur. She said hey Adana my question today is do you think minoring in undergrad can give a PA applicant an edge in admissions. So honestly like I don't I don't I don't think so. I mean it gives you an edge in terms of the fact that hey you've taken more science courses or something like that. So like for my chemistry minor I had to take a couple more step like chemistry courses and then I had to take like informatics for just to transition from biology to biomedical sciences but I don't think having a chemistry minor played any role in the fact that I got into PA school. It was that it doesn't matter. The main thing is the fact that you have a bachelor's degree. That is the main stipulation of getting into PA school. Do you have do you have a bachelor's degree. If you have a bachelor's degree then that's fine. You don't have to step out of your bachelor's degree to like complete more courses to get a minor to now show like hey I'm proficient in the sciences. If you want to do so just to boost your science GPA then great more power to you that is fine. That will show well because hey your science GPA is now higher than what it was but just looking at an applicant and saying oh you know this one has the same stats as this one but this one has a minor that doesn't really play that much of a role. The things that play a role in giving you the edge is the quality of your clinical experience or patient care experience the amount of hours that you have for shadowing and for those those clinical experience and your GPAs. Some schools again put some weight in GRE but mainly like your GPAs. Those are the things that you're looking at. Okay all right hopefully this answered you guys's questions. Please leave more comments in the comment section below. I will answer them tomorrow and you know what in celebration or PA day I might even go ahead and answer some questions on Instagram. So go on over to my Instagram and see if your questions are answered today as well and I have placed in my story the fact that I'm going to be in a town hall meeting at Morehouse via zoom today tonight at seven.
