If so, congratulations to your daughter. It is as difficult, and in some schools harder, to be admitted to PA school than it is to go to medical, dental, or pharmacy school.
When I retired, I enrolled in our local community college. At the moment I am studying Organic Chemistry 2 . (Yes, I do this for fun. )Nearly everyone in my class is hoping to be admitted to dental, medical, PA, or pharmacy school. Admission is intensely competitive.
I too, lived in inner-city Philly. I didn’t own a car until I was 30. There was nowhere to park it, and the cost of insurance was insane. I did have a driver’s license, though.
