Following interviews with selected candidates, final selections are made by the Physician Assistant Program Admissions Committee. Decisions are made based on the applicant's personal and academic qualifications as reflected in the completed application forms, transcripts, recommendations and results of the interview. Eligibility Requirements for Admission To be considered for admission to the P.A. Program, applicants must have completed a minimum of 60 college credits with a grade point average of at least 2.0. Additionally, students must pass the City College proficiency examinations in written and spoken English prior to entering the program. Completion of the above courses does not guarantee admission to the P.A. program, however, since the number of available positions is limited and the program receives a substantial number of applications each year.
Admission is highly selective and very competitive.
The Physician Assistant Program faculty and staff are available to provide academic counseling to students interested in the program. Students are encouraged to contact the Program Office at the address and phone number below for further information. The Program Office will then mail recommendation forms directly to these individuals. The completed application form and all supporting documents, including official college transcripts and letters of recommendation, must be postmarked by October 31 for the applicant to be considered for admission. The deadline for students with any foreign transcript is September 30.
