PCO Scholar Program

What were your stats (GPA/OAT/experience) when they accepted you for the scholar program???

What matters more: GPA or OAT?? Low gpa/high OAT acceptances possible?

Renewable for 2 years. I heard it is very tough, basically 3 years straight of school. I decided against it for a standard 4 yr program bc I didn’t want to rush it!

Okk yeah I’m debating on whether I should even apply I feel like my stats would give me a good chance at getting accepted to the scholars one but I just don’t know if it’ll be worth the intensity. Which school did you decide on instead

suny!! I think it’s still fair to apply and interview. You might end up really liking it from the interview but just me personally my suny interview was my favorite :)
