Pre-PA Mentor

Two years ago we interviewed two of our students that were accepted into the Chapman University PA Program... but we never got around to editing it or uploading.  But recently we were talking to these two students are now just weeks away from graduating!  So, we thought it would be fun to post the original interview from two years ago and this week, we plan to interview them again so they can share their experiences going through PA School.  We upload Part II next week so enjoy this weeks podcast but don't forget to come back next week to listen to the follow-up interview.
