How selective is HPA program at UP?

Hello all,

Would anyone be able to give me some information regarding the competitiveness of the Health Policy & Administration degree at UP?

I am an adult learner and 24 years of age
I’m also currently an LPN with approximately 48 transferable credits from a community college in state.

When I began college, I was reckless with my grades because I was not interested in school and forced to go.

I improved my grades and what not since then but my GPA still suffers

I have written a stellar personal statement and have two letters of recommendation. One from a physician who works for Penn State Health.

Please give info!

Adult learners have very different rules than traditional first years. You want to call advising at that college , or call admissions. Do you qualify for academic forgiveness? (how long has it been since you started college last time?)

I have spoken with admission counselors at UP. They also said other situations are taken into consideration with adult learners but did not elaborate on how it is different than a traditional transfer student. You mentioned that they have different rules. Could you tell me more please?

I was last a student af HACC in 2013. I fell one semester short of it being 5 years in which hacc grants academic forgiveness.
