Pa school?

before applying to pa school I am doing 2 years at a community college then 2 years at a good university. When applying to a pa school, will they look more on the gpa at my university, vice versa, or will they look at both the gpas equally?

    I would not recommend a community college. I went to a community college to save money by doing my gen eds, only to find out when I transferred to a state university in Pennsylvania that the majority of my classes did not count despite having A's through C's in them, now I'm stuck with needing a few more gen eds along with my major classes, plus I wasted 2 1/2 years in a community college, not to mention the money wasted.

    Please consider taking the pre-req classes for PA school at a reputable four-year college or university, rather than community college.

    They will look at your overall GPA, and then your GPA in your PA-school prerequisite courses (which will be primarily math and science).  However, bad grades at community college never look good, so that will be red flag if that's the case.
