Yes, she has visited this school, toured the campus with a PA student and we know a "friend of a friend" who is currently in the program who she has spoken with. The program is ranked #18 out of about 180 schools who offer a PA program so it is well respected. There are only about 30 schools that offer seats to high school seniors so she really has a great opportunity. I think I will take your advice about having her sit in for a day of classes or stay for a weekend, that may help her to see if she can really picture herself living there for 5 years. As an adult, it is easy for me to see this as an amazing opportunity, I will try to get her to see the bigger picture, that is great advice, Thank you!Congrats to her regardless of what she decides! Has she visited the school, sat in on classes, spoken to current students and alumni, or even spent a weekend there? If not I would start there. It's so hard as a HS senior to know what you really want from a program. Honestly, if this is a program that is well respected within the profession of PAs AND they are giving her $ to attend and be finished in a shorter amount of time than to do her BS and then apply to a graduate program, I would highly encourage her to pursue this opportunity. If she can minimize the number of years in school as well as her long term debt, I would try to make her see the bigger picture.
