MBKU Pre-Pa Mentorship Club

Confused on how to prepare, apply, or interview for PA school? MBKU Pre-PA Mentorship Club is an initiative led by MBKU's current PA students that aims to provide a supportive environment for those in the midst of their pre-PA school journey.

With mentee applications opening typically around September or October, aspiring PAs will have the opportunity to connect with mentors who can share their experiences and general tips. Personal mentors are also assigned in early fall to offer guidance and advice tailored to each mentee's needs.

USC PA Pathways Program

For reference, this year’s application cycle was from April 1 to May 15, with acceptance emails sent out during the week of June 1. This year-long program is set to begin July 27 and end May 17.
