      @mariajuanesta3319 2 місяці тому

      @veronicasarabia3821 I did poor in high school because it was about being told what to do and how to think and being bombarded with 100's of hours of miniscule tasks that meant nothing. Where college it was all on you to perform and it was all relevant information. Then you were tested to see what you absorbed. High School is a waste, it holds back those with ambition and potential and hurts those who need more help. College only allows to to excel if you're ready.
      College raised my GPA because I was allowed to think, ask questions and the info was accessible the way it is in the "real world".

    This is such an inspirational story! MY GPA was an embarrassingly abysmal 1.68 by the end of my first semester of college (Stony Brook University 88'). I was on academic probation. However, after transferring schools, taking a BUNCH of classes, and being patient, my GPA FINALLY got up to a 3.16 (BS in Biology from UDC in 94'). Of course it took 6 years. But hey, the good Lord let me become a PA. Thanks again Adanna, for yet another wonderful video! I REALLY enjoy "meeting " your classmates. I hope you get 3,000 subscribers before the end of 2017!

      My overall GPA was a 2.6 however, some schools look at your last 30 units. For me, those 30 units were still at a 2.9, which still didn't meet the 3.0 requirement. Fortunately for me, my program required us to also find a Principal Investigator to take us into their lab. I got rejected by many because of my GPA. Luckily, one professor saw me for more than my GPA and GRE scores and took me in. A few weeks later, I was offered admissions. I believe my PI fought for me, which I am extremely grateful for.

    Parents who never had the opportunity to pursue a higher education don't understand how much private and home life affect children pursuing a degree, one, because you have to live in whatever environment it is that's being created, secondly making the environment better is out of that child's control and so they only learn to get by and just survive each day rather competing with versions of them self to evolve as a person. It just sucks all in all and through and through.
    Attending uni is already enough pressure, now imagine attending uni having depression, battling with self- worth and failing every course that can drive any young adult borderline crazy.

    I wish I saw this earlier, my major was pre-med and my advisor too laughed when I told her I wanted to go to pharmacy school. And told me to do psychology instead. Other students told me to ignore her but I thought “hey this is her job she knows best” and I knew I couldn’t have my GPA drop any lower. Took a year off to re-evaluate my life and gain the proper drive that I needed to REALLY accomplish the overall goal. I’m taking the first steps back but I know I will get there ✊🏽 my parents are doubting me every step of the way but I’m doing this for me and my son.

    Insane that Samora worked at Starbucks too! I’m working my way up to become a Shift Manager right now. I’m currently attending college but I’m dealing with mental abuse. My family is also very religious, they control me, physically abuse me, tell me I’m worthless. I’ve always been a 1.0 - 2.0 gpa student since middle school. I passed my Bio 131 with an A but I literally had to walk away from my family. I came back because they always manage to make me feel guilty about my decisions. I’m in bio 233 with 2 jobs working from 4:00am - 9:00pm. I have a 3 hours gap that I use to attend school. Having so many things going is affecting my grades right now. But watching this inspired me, I will be a fucking Physical Therapist with a fuckinggg doctoral degree!!! Stay strong people!

    OMG. This hits close to home. I started undergrad in 2009 and it was a disaster. I was on academic probation twice and suspended. I basically just stopped going to school in the middle of a semester in Fall 2012. I had 1.23 GPA at that point. I took some time off to work then ended up moving back in with my parents. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I enrolled in community college just to appease my parents and barely made it through that but got my A.S. degree. I had heard about PAs before but never really gave them much thought. I did some research and something clicked and I knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life. Currently I'm at a different 4-yr school with a 3.8 GPA and will be graduating next fall(on that 9 year Bachelors degree plan lbvs). I'm worried that PA schools will look at my old grades and go "oh hell no" so this story is very motivating for me. Keep them coming Adanna.

    • @samoracharles8055
      @samoracharles8055 6 років тому +29

      I know how you feel...but you got this. You are rocking that GPA and schools will take notice of that. Just make sure when you are ready to apply, you choose schools that clearly state that they take a holistic approach. To me, that means they will take the time to look at your application instead of dismissing you because of your cumulative GPA. I was told by one PA progam admin that although she noticed my low cumulative GPA when she was reviewing apps, she knew that she had to take a closer look at my app, because only a crazy person would apply with such a low GPA. And after looking she saw that I did well as an older student etc. Those are the programs that you need to spend your money applying to and there are quite a few out there. Good luck!

    • @AdannaThePA
      @AdannaThePA  6 років тому +22

      vettech10 schools will never just say no if you show progress. You have to make sure that your PS, HCE, and Shadowing hrs also reflect your dedication to succeeding in the healthcare field. look at schools that may take a more holistic approach to their acceptances and calculate you GPA for yourself, so that you know exactly where you stand over all. You will be fine, just stay focused and put in the work. It may not be easy but you'll thank yourself later when you're in PA school!

    This is so inspiring to me. I worked so hard last year to get the opportunity to interview for an occupational therapy program and got the offer. I have a 2.95 cgpa and was competing with people with CGPA of 3.8 -4.0 I was waitlisted. I felt stupid and inferior to the others I applied with. It took me abit to climb out of that depression and get the resolve to push harder and apply again next year. I stand to bring my CGPA up to a 3.0 and up my observation hours to improve my application. So many people doubt me now and tell me I'm wasting my time and need a plan B. In my mind there is never a plan B theres only Plan A. I'll never give up. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

    You definitely inspired me Samora ! Thank you for sharing this story . I too , suffered from a huge depression and it showed in my grades . I went from a 4.0 , to 1.0 in a couple of semesters . Math was my stumbling block in college and I needed to pass that class to move ahead . It was hard . I definitely took a break . I was on academic probation , I took the class 5 or 6 times.. everyone thought I had a learning disability when it came to math but watching your story , has truly changed my mindset and I’m willing to continue . Not for others but for me . Thank you so much!
    Good luck with PA school and will check out your restaurant once I’m in the area.
    Thank you again! Best wishes

    This is such a beautiful and inspirational story!! I share so many similarities with Samora and her story, and It is so amazing to see others overcoming some life obstacles and prevailing in the end! I went from an extremely embarrassing 1.0 GPA due to dealing with the death of all 3 of my grandparents within a 4 month's time span, to now being accepted into an Accelerated Bachelor's of Nursing program and hopefully will be completing this program near the top of my cohort. Moral of the story is: NEVER give up, and don't let past mistakes define you and hinder you from accomplishing your goals and one day living your dream life! Samora, me and many others are testament to this! Thank you for this story, Adanna!

  • @naturallyshan9804
    @naturallyshan9804 6 років тому +5

    I’m Haitian and can totally relate to the strictness of parents. Although my parents wouldn’t go as far as disowning me, it was very stressful for me to tell my mother that I wanted to change my degree from a BS in psychology with the intentions to get my PhD in Neuropsychology to a BFA in Creative Writing. I had never been interested in science and had been a writer and reader from a very young age, but my mother, who is a pharmacist, had always tried to push me into the science field regardless of my obvious disinterest. Going against her wishes and doing what I wanted was extremely trying because like you I grew up in a closed environment, without an identity and always had my family, no one else.
    Now I’m in graduate school getting my MS in Publishing and although I don’t know quite yet what I want to do with it, I’ve been very happy with the path that I chose because I knew I’d be miserable if I had done what my mother wanted. Thank you for sharing your story!!!!! Your story is inspirational and I hope people listen to it and follow their dreams regardless of what anyone tells them 💜💜

    @TheCatsMe00w 4 роки тому +6

    I worked really really hard my last two years of college to get my 2.4 to a 3.0, so that would at least open up doors of post-Baccalaureate programs or graduate school. However, now that i'm out I really don't want to spend the money on a masters i don't want and post-bacc program that gives me no safety net. I'm thinking of doing an accelerated BSN program than possibly going into PA MD or DO, that way if i get denied I still have something the guarantees me a job in the health field. All in all, I just want to work in Derm. cause it is a special interest of mine. Whatever title that comes with it doesn't matter to me.
