★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair
The admissions team described a holistic review process and spoke directly to applicants from military backgrounds. Their advice was to translate military service into the language admissions committees actually use — leadership, teamwork, adaptability, performance under pressure, communication, problem-solving, commitment to service, and any direct healthcare experience — rather than leaving a reviewer to interpret job titles and duty descriptions on their own. If you are a veteran applicant, your experience is an asset, but it lands hardest when you connect it explicitly to the demands of PA training and patient care.
