I am a junior, class of 2009, interested in applying to Duquesne and pursuing their entry-level masters program in Physician Assistant Studies. Can anybody tell me if I have a chance at admission to the college and possibly scholarships? Also, any information about Physician Assistant program that can be provided would be appreciated.

Let me put it to you this way: I graduated from high school, class of 07, with about a 3.5 GPA unweighted, and a little over 4.0 weighted. My SATs were a 1380 (I don't know how this compares to your ACT score), and I had a similar curriculum with nowhere near as many activities as you have.

The moral of this story is that Duquesne (which I am a freshman at) gave me a $9500 scholarship, so keep it up and I don't think you'll have any problems with admissions or scholarships.
