THE WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO ENTERED! A LOT MORE GIVEAWAYS COMING SOON :) GOOD LUCK STUDYING EVERYONE!
Hi James Kim I did awful on my GREa I don’t know where to start how do you study? Do you first read the chapter and practice the questions? Do you time yourself? How should I approach this?
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
Thank you so much for the tips!!!!
I am planning to take in August. And I am trying to pursue a carrier as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. I have a bachelors in Biological Science and My Dad inspired me to further my education. Since the beginning of my journey to study in the USA coming from Brazil he has been supporting me in my dreams. He has recently passed away in January and the last thing he said to me was: "Work Hard, Study hard and trust in God" and this is what I have been doing.
Oh man sorry for your lost, I have the SAME dream, however, I'm in the position for getting so scared or just do it!.. let me know if you made it, because in someway you inspired me, I know what feels like for lost someone because I lost my baby 2 weeks ago, btw I'm from PERU :)
I believe in you! I just passed my boards as a Medical lab scientist. It's totally worth it as either a career or a stepping stone towards future management positions or even other healthcare positions.
Oh man!! I am really sorry about your father and God bless him. I believe in you and think you can make your father's wills possible if you just focus on your dreams.
Hi James! I’m scheduled to take the GRE THIS JULY!! I’m so nervous! This might sound super self absorbed but someone who has inspired me is myself, 10 years from now. Thinking about what my life could be like, the lives I could be impacting, and the fact that the future is so unknown is motivating and inspiring. A big quote that has stuck with me and that I refer too when I’m doubting myself and abilities is “if you don’t believe in yourself, why would anyone else?” That quote really keeps me going and forces me to keep pushing forward and have confidence.
Also I just want to say, I’ve been following you from what seems to be the beginning and I just want to say thank you for being someone I can look up too in regards to this PA journey.
🤞🏼🤞🏼Im taking the GRE JUNE 1ST! So pray for ya girl please 🤞🏼🤞🏼 on the other hand, as cheesy as it may sound... My grandma has been my biggest inspiration. I’m her very first granddaughter to graduate from college and to pursue a career as a P.A. She had a dream of her own to become one. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a chance to follow her dreams because she was believed to be a “a stay at home mom” and couldn’t become something more because she was a “woman”. She tells me that even though she couldn’t achieve her dreams, she’s proud to see me pursue mine. I’m not only pursuing my dreams to become a P.A. But I want to dedicate my achievements to her.
How was the test? What was your score?
I plan on taking the GRE this summer! The people who inspire me are my parents. They are immigrants who were unable to finish middle school due to poverty. They came to the USA in order to give me the opportunity to have an education. I chose to become a PA because of health issues my family have gone through while struggling with insurances that they were not able to afford. I want to make that positive impact in low income neighborhoods and help them as much as I can. And this is all thanks to my parents for doing their best to keep me in school and never giving up on me.
Dang James you are turning into a PA school Oprah! I’m planning to take the GRE within a year (but people taking it before me deserve the study materials more TBH) and your videos really inspire me to keep going and give me motivation when classes (especially med micro) knock me down. Really appreciate the time you take to film these videos and help out aspiring PAs. Also, I just noticed the CZcams name change 😂
What’s up James. I’m taking the GRE in August. I graduate undergrad in May and from there I’m spending the rest of my time studying for the GRE. I took it once and was disappointed in my score, I know it doesn’t reflect my abilities. Anyway, I wasn’t inspired by a single person but my motivation came after I dropped out of college for 4 years. During that time hit a huge rough patch but I overcame became an EMT and began to dig deeper into the medical field. I learned what a PA was and feel that it is my calling. Then after following a bunch of PAs on IG and shadowing I see how great, caring, and kind hearted they all are. I get more inspired everyday by watching videos and listening to pod casts and honestly man your videos are a huge motivator. Keep doing what you’re doing cause you’re inspiring many of us and you’re an honest representation of the PA profession and I hope I can do the same one day too.
Taking the GRE for the second time in July or August! Watching videos like yours I believe will really really help me improve those areas I need to get into graduate school.
This video was soooo helpful! I plan to take the GRE this summer. Your videos have been so helpful to me, especially regarding reasons for choosing PA over MD or NP. You've been so inspiring and relatable and have really helped me ensure my choice for PA school!
I plan on taking the GRE within the next year. Getting ready to start studying! My mom is my inspiration. She has always been so supportive of my dream to be a PA. Love your videos!
I am taking the GRE at the end of August so all of these materials would be SUPER helpful. My brother is actually the one who has inspired me to pursue PA school. He is an engineer and although he is not on the PA career path, he has been the one to encourage me to pursue my career even when I felt like I wasn’t good enough. Very thankful for him!! Thank you for all your videos as well! They are super encouraging (:
I honestly didn't know much about PAs until I came across your videos! They got me inspired to look more into it. I also got to discover more about the programs through a friend who is planning on going to PA school. I plan to take the GRE in the fall, and hopefully be prepared by the end of summer. Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful! :)
Hey James! I'm planning on taking the GRE in later in the Fall this year. I was inspired by a coworker I met at my second job I ever got when I was in high school. I knew she went to my high school and was 4 or 5 years older than me. However, when I met her I found out she went to the same college I was planning on going to. She told me about the PA profession and I just remember being so inspired. Soon after I met her that summer I remember her telling me about an interview she got for a PA program and how nervous she was. Later on she ended up getting accepted and from seeing her excitement I knew it was the path I was going to take as well. I can't wait to experience that feeling she felt when she told me she got accepted!
Hi James! I’m taking my GRE in June so I have a little more than a month study. Thank you so much for making this video, I was looking some insight on how to crush this exam and your video was super helpful! As intimidating as it is, I think I just need to set up a plan, get started and... *breathe*... I’m actually pursuing CRNA and the inspiration actually comes from wanting to advance my career as a health care professional and I’m just extremely interest in anesthesia!
Hey! I plan on taking the GRE next fall! What inspired me was my family, especially my sister. Freshman year of high school my sister was diagnosed with leukemia and we spent a lot of time in the hospital with her. Thankfully she is cured now. I learned more about medicine and took a nursing course in high school! Then I learned about PA and through youtube channels like yours I was sure that I wanted to do PA instead of another medical profession. Thank you!
Amazing advice, highly recommend Magoosh as an addition for people who are auditory or visual learners because its all videos and online practice exams/quizzes! Taking my GRE and the end of this month (may push it a little further into May - TBD) and its STRESSFUL but manageable with full time job/volunteering/etc. One of my biggest inspirations: my best friend Kendall, even tho she is planning to go to Medical School - we are going through the exact same paths right now with a gap year, applications, our entry test (GRE/MCAT), work, etc. but her positivity and motivation is an inspiration that keeps me level headed and reminded of why i love this career path in the first place. When your best friend goes into healthcare with you and she understands all your healthcare memes & pick up lines, shes a keeper :)
I am planning to study over the summer and take the GRE at the end of the summer! You were the very first person on any social media that I start following once I decided to pursue the PA profession, so I would definitely say that you have inspired me! Thank you for creating this video and sharing your helpful tips!!
Hey man, you're real as fuck and this video was really refreshing! I've been lacking the drive to start studying for the GRE, but here it goes! Thank you for making a video like this!
Thanks for the support! Good luck!!
I plan to take the GRE this summer. Watching your videos and instagram posts has been very inspiring and has motivated me to work hard to achieve my goals! Thank you
I plan to take the GRE 2 years from now! I luckily had a lab partner who introduced me to the wonders of being a PA and inspired me to pursue the career!
I'm planning on taking the GRE at the end of May! I just found out that my friend works with a PA in my hometown who went to my dream PA school, so he's my inspiration.
Hey James!! i am planning on taking the GRE exam this fall , Someone who has inspired me on my journey are my parents because they've scarified a lot for me to be where i am today, and my goal is too succeed in everything that i do so that they could take a break and enjoy life to the fullest and give them everything that they've ever wanted in life.
Thank you for sharing the studying tips!!
I will be taking the GRE most likely in the fall 2019 and I found my first PA to shadow and while watching her I learned she treated the patients emotionally by talking to them asking how they have been before going through with their treatment plans and she is still who i aspire to be like in the future as a PA myself.
Im going to take it next year. How was your GRE experience?
For PhD do we have to give general and subject GRE?
I plan to take my second GRE test in June/July. My mother inspires me everyday. She is a single mother who raised two amazing daughters and continues to support/stand behind me while I made a full 360 in my career choice. I pray to one day be half the woman she is one day.
Hi James, I plan on taking the GRE this summer. I am truly inspired by yourself and other PAs who share their stories/advice on social media. I feel encouraged when I see others who were able to achieve the same dream I have.
One recommendation I have for others taking the GRE is to utilize the free GRE events hosted by Kaplan! These free events are held in a virtual classroom. The Kaplan teachers review & teach concepts as well as strategies in both quantitative and verbal reasoning. Once again the best thing is it's FREE!
Hopefully taking my GRE by the end of this year, if not this year, next year for sure!!! Someone who has inspired me on this journey is definitely all you PAs on social media! Hearing real life stories and advice is so helpful. So thanks for this video! 😊
You are truly inspiring and so so so helpful! Please keep the videos coming! I plan to take the GRE this coming September so I have around five months to study. My neighbor, who is a surgical PA, has influenced me the most because he allowed me to shadow him for a week and showed such compassion each and every day. He showed me what is was like to be a PA and he taught me how to absolutely love medicine. He walked into work each day loving every moment of it and ever since I have had the drive and grit to essentially become just that. A PA that loves his job, and has a deep passion for medicine.
I plan on taking the GRE in two years but it's never too early to get studying! I'm not just saying this but you and Lorae Schafer inspired me on this journey. I was set on going into medicine since middle school but as I finished my second year of college, I realized I wanted a job with somewhat flexible hours, shorter schooling, and could have the opportunity to switch between specialties (since I'm very indecisive). I came across your channel and Lorae's Instagram and since then, I've been learning everything there is to know about PA and the excitement you two give off makes me even more excited for what the future holds. Thank you for your awesome videos! :)
This was so helpful! I am taking the GRE in August. While still in undergrad, I had a really good friend who inspired me to become open to healthcare as a career option, which plunged me into this exciting journey to PA!
I literally just scheduled my GRE for next month right before watching this video! I have been inspired by so many others, from the providers I work with in the ED to all of the PA CZcamsrs and Instagrammers that I follow. You all provide so much GREAT free content. I have been using all of the free GRE Prep content online for the past few weeks, so these books would be a great help for the next 6 weeks.
Hey James! I’m a Junior at Clemson and I plan to take the GRE this summer so I can just focus on clinical hours for the next year or so. Both you and Adanna the PA have inspired me. You’re always so helpful answering my questions on Instagram, so I really appreciate you giving us this opportunity!
I plan on taking the GRE in the fall. Your tips were really helpful. Someone that has inspired me on my PA journey is a PA that treated me in high school. She was always so knowledgeable and confident.
Not taking the GRE for a while so materials should go to someone else who is taking it sooner but wanted to say this is so kind of you and thank you for how much you've helped me on my journey to PA. You rock! Currently wrapping up my second term of nursing school and excited to start getting some high quality PCE soon! :)
I plan on taking the GRE in the fall! I’ve met a lot of PA’s from being in and out of the hospital as a kid, so I met a ton of wonderful people and wanted to help people just like them. Love your videos, they’ve been a tremendous help!
After seeing your video where you talked about your time at UCSD and did a post bacc, it inspired me to try harder in school (I also go to UCSD! the thumbnail was the academic history and that caught my eye lol) and to utilize all the resources I have around me. You were also the first medical related Instagram that I followed, and now I follow a ton and love following their health care journey! Ive been pre PA since my first year, and during my second year I got confused with PA/dental/med, but now I’m in my third year, planning on taking my GRE during 2019-2020 school year so apply to PA school :-)
Hi James, I’m taking the GRE in July. I would say that you have inspired me most to start on this journey to becoming a PA. I originally thought I would be a doctor (it’s what all my friends planned to do so it was one of the few options I really knew about), so I majored in biology with the full belief that I would go to med school. But then I came across your videos, and they educated me on what it is to be a PA. You showed me that there were other opportunities in healthcare besides just being a doctor. (And your PA vs NP video really helped me decide on PA). You’ve inspired me to pave my own path and I am thankful!
This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! I plan to take the GRE this summer/early fall. I found out about the profession from a friend about 1.5 years ago, and have been researching ever since. Honestly, following PA’s on their journey through IG and CZcams has really inspired me, that includes you!! I appreciate you posting these videos and for this giveaway! Yayy
Man I just had to comment on your latest video. I've been watching your videos since October 2016, and I accredit a significant part of why I got into my #1 choice PA school to your videos. Applying to a large number of schools was the smartest thing I ever did, and it was thanks to your advice. So I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your resilience to keep making these videos even during PA school. Keep doing you man!
I am planning on taking the GRE HOPEFULLY in July! It honestly seems so late to be taking it but im finishing up my last prereq in the summer and I dont want to be studying for 2 things at once! I'm hoping this is the only time I have to take it so i want to make sure I am fully prepared for it! Someone whos really inspired me throughout this journey was actually a PA that was seeing me when I went to Planned Parenthood! She really embodied everything I want to be and everything that is right about the healthcare field. Because of her i not only want to become a PA, i became more passionate about Women's Health and thats the field i want to work in!
My roommate from my first semester of my Freshman year of college actually introduced me to the PA profession. She's the reason I decided to research it and ultimately based my undergraduate career on pursuing it. I plan on taking the GRE next summer but I want to start studying for it this summer so I can be fully prepared to excel at this exam. Also, watching your videos has been so inspirational to me because you are so relateable and amazing! Thank you for all your content!!
CZcams recommended your video, which is kinda creepy cause I’m getting ready to spend the summer studying to take the GRE in August to get into grad school to become a licensed psychologist! My husband has been my biggest inspiration to me going back to school and accomplishing things I never thought I could.
Omg I’ve been waiting for this!! I plan to take the GRE this summer (within the next 3 months or so). The person who has inspired me the most to become a PA was a PA I shadowed for being so supportive and giving me resources/tips anywhere from the applications to actually in classroom tips. I have also been very inspired by you. The first video I ever watched of yours was the low GPA, but everything you have put out on Instagram and here on CZcams has been so very helpful! I would love to be the winner of these books and one day be able to pay it forward myself. Thanks for all you do!
Wow! Your video literally came at the perfect time. Just made my GRE study plan this morning and will be officially starting next week! Thanks for the video (:
Not really part of this Giveaway but anyhow! 😂 I’m taking the GRE on the 27th of this month! I just signed up, since I switched from Medical School to Veterinary School this past month😅 Wish me luck, I have to crack down on some interesting vocabulary 😂
I'm taking it this Friday! Vocabulary is ridiculous. Never will I use these words in conversation haha. Good luck!!
Good luck!
Good luck! That’s so awesome.
Hey James! I plan on taking my GRE next summer and hopefully PA school the year after! I never thought that I could even make it to a point where my stats are decent enough that I can start applying to schools and that’s all thanks to America, a med school CZcamsr who has Inspired me so much through her commitment to medicine and the genuine care she has for people and their well being. She works super hard and sometimes does 24 hour shifts for her rotations but her strong work ethic and commitment is so refreshing to see! I hope I can be as strong and goal oriented as she is
Wow! Thank you so much James for your videos and helpful insta content! I've been following your journey for a while now and I am so amazed at how, despite your busy lifestyle, you continue to put out helpful videos, tips, and motivation for us pre-PAs! I plan on taking my GRE this summer sometime during June and would really benefit from any helpful book or resource! Ultimately, there are a lot of people who have inspired my journey to wanting to become a PA but I honestly think that the person who has inspired me the most to become a PA is the current pediatric PA who I have shadowed for the past year. The way she is so proud of her profession and is always excited and enthusiastic to care for her patients really motivates me. I really look up to her in the way that she is constantly wanting to ensure that every patient feels safe and comfortable with every check up and that is a big reason of why I want to take on this difficult journey!
You are the winner of the giveaway Daniela! Please DM me on insta the best address to send the resources! Congrats!
I plan on taking the GRE July 12th! My EMT teacher in highschool introduced me to the PA field and inspired me to bed where I am today.
I plan to take the GRE again in the first week of August, on a Saturday. I want to get a better score to increase my options for gradschool. Thank you for doing this giveaway. I learned the hard way how important (and expensive) the GRE is and am glad someone will be benefiting from these study materials. I’m inspired by the kids I work with and their families that work every day to overcome barriers in communication due to living with Autism.
Thank you for taking time off and filming these videos to help us on our own journey! I'm planning on taking the GRE in the fall/winter in hopes of applying next cycle.
There wasn't really someone specific who inspired me to go into the healthcare field or in deciding I wanted to be a PA. I used to be a part of a non-profit org at my college that provided free medical exams and social services to low income/homeless individuals. I only started in the org wanting to give back to the community, not really interested in the field, but going to case work and meeting the clients (we called them clients over patients since we offered many more social services compared to medical treatment) who frequented the clinic week after week showed me what it meant to provide good hospitality in the healthcare system, not just good medical treatment. Over the year, I became acquaintances and friends with homeless clients that I never would've imagined I'd hug or even approach before I was apart of the organization. They taught me that people are different, yet everyone is the same, trying to live a happy fulfilled life. It was one of the best and enlightening experiences I could have ever asked for. That's what inspired me to go into the healthcare field and be a PA.
Hey James!
Thank you so much for taking your time to make such helpful videos! I plan on taking my GRE for a 2nd time in June. I scored a 290 on my previous one and I need to get at least a 300. During my journey, a person who has inspired me is a Dermatology PA I got to shadow in my undergrad. She was a single mom and had a low GPA and was able to make it into school after applying two times. She is so inspiring in the idea that she was faced with personal adversities but never gave up, and in return achieved her dreams. I have a low GPA, so she reminds me to never give up.
Hopefully you got the score you wanted
I am moving into my last year of undergrad and I am so nervous about the GRE. This video answered a lot of questions that I had so thank you! I’m planning to take my GRE in 2020 after I graduate but I want to start studying this summer! I was inspired by the MEDLIFE movement to go into a healthcare career. They showed me how much I could do as a PA and how much of a difference I could make all over the World! I can’t wait to begin the journey of becoming a PA! Thanks for the video and the opportunity to get this material to begin studying!
Hey fresh prince! I plan on taking the GRE this summer! Someone who has inspired me has honestly been you! I was almost about to give up my journey to PA school because I didn’t think my gpa was good enough especially when prehealth advisor basically told me I wouldn’t get in with a 3.4.......that night I googled and found your video and you motivated me so much! I just wanted to let you know because I am so thankful for your channel and I will be applying next cycle!
Hi James!
I am planning on taking the GRE this coming July or August, and this video really was an encouragement for me. Somebody who inspired me to pursue becoming a PA is a friend that I had in Guatemala when I lived there with my parents who were missionaries. Seeing her and many others being deprived of proper access to healthcare really impacted the way I have molded my life so far! Thank you for all of the tips and constant support:)
I’m planning to take my GRE this summer! I’m still in my undergrad so it’s difficult to find time to study, but I’m gearing up to start my hard core studying.
I would say that someone who inspires me is my Dad. He is an incredibly hard worker and has always pushed me to follow my passions. He has been a big supporter of my choice to go to PA school!
hey james!! i’m planning on taking the GRE in the winter. i have been inspired by you and other PA students on social media to continue on this journey. thank you for always sharing so much helpful information with us :)
Hello! I just discovered your channel yesterday while searching for PA students videos and your channel was the only one I found the most helpful! I am Italian, but I moved to CT 4 years ago for college. PA is not a career practiced around Europe, so I remember the first time I encounter it, I was shadowing Plastic Surgeons at a private clinic for my senior high school internship, and I remember this surgical PA showing up only during surgical operations, not much during patients consulting hours. Then I found out what his job was, but still coming from Italy I didn't really understand the point of having a PA. Now, after 3 years of undergraduate as a Biology major, I am starting to planning for my future, and after watching a PA vs MD Q&A video on CZcams, I actually think PA would be the best career for my personality. I am not much of an authoritarian figure, and I love to so teamwork, also I think surgical PA would give me a much more rounded career in the hospital, b helping in a variety of medicine fields.
I still have 1 year left before graduation, and I am going to shadow a Breast Cancer Surgeon and doing some pharmaceutical research at my college. Me and my twin sister were both on the same undergraduate path until this semester, when she decided Biology and a career in medicine was not the best path for her. The only problem is that she already bought Kplan books for the MCAT 1 year ago, and now that I am sure 100% that I want to become a surgical PA, your KPLAN materials would be very helpful. Please keep on posting new videos, and maybe do some vlogging because I have been binge watching your channel since last night non-stop!!
Also, the thing that inspired me the most to peruse a career in medicine, is when I broke both my left tibia and fibula, and my family friend, an orthopedic surgeon, found out they had made me a very bed cast, and if he hadn't noticed in time, I would have had to undergo a super unnecessary surgery! From that episode, I always had a deep respect for the medicine field and I wanted to be a part of that as an adult!
I’m taking it June 1!!!! AHHHHH!!! 😱😱😱🤯 my volunteer coordinator really inspired me to be on the PA profession 💓
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. It was super informative and entertaining to watch! I loved all the memes/ gifs.
Someone who inspired me to go into the PA profession is my younger brother who has Down’s syndrome. He is very smart and always happy. He has inspired me to advocate, listen to and help people who come from under represented backgrounds that may not have a voice.
Oops I forgot to mention that I am taking the GRE in September.
This was easily one of the most helpful videos I’ve watched so far!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, I can only imagine how busy you are. I’m planning on taking the GRE the third week of August 😊. I was initially introduced to the PA profession by my mother’s pain management doctor, he took the time to sit down and speak to me about the pros and cons. He also allowed me to shadow the PA’s and NP’s at his practice, the whole staff was dedicated to providing the best health care experience possible (which is what I strive to do). That was about two years ago and ever since then, I’ve been watching your videos. You’re awesome for allowing us to follow you on your journey, thanks James !
I'm planning to take the GRE for the second time in mid-May just to see if my GRE score could improve by a few points. I have an average GPA and average hours of PCE so I'm hoping a higher GRE score will push me over the edge to get into PA school! I chose the PA path when I started working as a medical scribe and got to work alongside a PA. The PA at my clinic showed me all the wonderful aspects of being a PA and I truly hope to be like him as a PA one day! He is my inspiration from switching to MD to PA.
I saw your videos during my freshmen year (2016~2017) and it really helped me plan and get pumped about being a pre-PA. I was a pre-nursing major and after doing online research decided PA was for me! I want to do ER and Primary in the future 😍
I plan on taking my first GRE toward the end of this summer and have been borrowing GRE books from the library to start the prep. It would be awesome to have my own books to study with though! 😍😍
Hi!! I am planning to take the GRE in the beginning of June! Thank you for the great video! Yes, practice tests are a MUST! No matter what, be positive and keep improving through every single "mistake"!! One person who has inspired me on my journey was my unexpected daughter! She's 1 years old and I am very happy to do whatever it takes to be a leader of example for her. :)
Hello my beautiful people! I’m planning to take the GRE in the Fall ( I need to buckle down and start studying) I originally was a radiologist major and one of my friends are in PA school we had a huge conversation about why it’s a great career and she sees me doing that more then radiology and why she loves it but also my BF is my inspiration( I know corny) . He really really helped me become hard worker and is just a huge supporter in everything I do. 😬☺️
Thank you for such an informative video! I really appreciate how you focused on strategies rather than the content - because let's be real, being familiar with the structure of standardized tests is at least half the battle. Fun fact, research have shown that standardized test scores correlates with socioeconomic status and is significantly less about the content!
With that said, I'm planning to take the GRE in August/ September and would greatly appreciate any materials/ information regarding the test to help me obtain a higher score. A person who inspired me most on my PA journey is a PA I met in the ED during an internship. He was super passionate about his career and was a strong patient advocate. He was also extremely considerate and looked out for patients, coworkers, and students alike. While my role was to be a fly on the wall, he always looked out for me and my peers and even offered us shadowing opportunities! His enthusiasm for his career path encouraged me to switch career paths and flip my entire undergraduate career upside down. Hands down one of the most inspiring mentor's I've met (even if he's unaware of this haha)!
Hi James, I’m planning on taking my GRE in July! Thanks for this video it answers many questions I had! Someone who has inspired me into the PA profession was myself and my parents. I came to accept I wasn’t pursing the profession of my dreams due to pressure and doubt in my own self in thinking I couldn’t study medicine. I am a first generation college graduate so that also had an impact on me but one day I said enough. I was going to stop having fear, doubt and telling me myself I couldn’t do something. I came back to school Spring semester to change my pathway and degree to pursue the profession that has always called my name. My parents have been 100% supportive more than I could ever ask for! They inspire me to face my fears, break labels but most importantly believe in myself.
Hi James! 👋🏽
Im planning on taking the GRE in the spring of next year to be prepared! Honestly the people that have inspired me to work on pre-requirements and (soon) apply to PA programs are my parents and you! I love you videos and you remind me that it’s NEVER too late to chase your dream. Love your moto “blood type = B positive” 💉
I plan to take the GRE this summer in July. I’ve been inspired by my friends on this journey to not give up!
I am planing to take GRE this summer. My cousin inspired me to become a PA because he said it is really fun to work with other people and you earn alot of money to take care of your family.
My parents:
PA>Engineer
Thanks for the heart❤️
Btw love the hair 👌🏼
Thank you so much for just having this giveaway and for your advice! I am planning on taking the GRE in the Fall of this year. Someone who has inspired me is Adanna the PA (for the same reason that you have as well). Most PA schools are very white and female and there is nothing inherently wrong about that, but it's harder to imagine yourself in that field without minority representation. Seeing both of you being successful in this field has been really helpful in encouraging me to continue along this journey as a black woman. Besides that, I guess I have found inspiration to continue to work towards PA school in myself and knowing that this is a goal I want to accomplish. Looking at it in terms of trying to make my future self proud, has been a big motivator for myself especially when I have times of self-doubt and even imposter syndrome in certain spaces. Thanks again for putting this type of content out there.
Hey James! Thanks so much for this video! It's been really helpful and inspiring. I plan on taking the GRE by August-September of this year. Someone who's recently inspired me (besides you) is my physician I scribe for. He's always reassuring me that my hard work is appreciated.
Adanna the PA inspired me to become a PA & the Brittany way help me figure out a way to pay for PA school. 😊 Also I appreciate you making these videos they really help. ❤️ I am currently working as a Medical assistant which will help me get patient care hours & I am a full time exercise science major. I will be graduating Fall of 2020 👩🏽🎓 I’m excited for my future ☺️
I plan on taking the GRE in 1 year
Hi James! Thank you for doing this video and giveaway!! I plan on taking the GRE in (hopefully) the next 2 months. A few people who inspired me to be on the path I'm on are the PAs I work with in the ED currently as a scribe. It inspires me immensely to see them able to tackle any variety of symptoms that come their way whether it be cardiac, psychiatric, neurological etc. In addition to the PAs I work with, my family inspires me to continue working hard as they've given me unconditional support throughout the years! I look forward to start watching more of your youtube videos, to your own progress through PA school, and to see you become James Kim PA-C :)
Hi, I plan on taking the GRE this August! Honestly I’d say all the PA students that I’ve come across on Instagram have gave me the confidence to challenge myself! I know that I am more than a test score and with this giveaway it will be super beneficial as it will help me prepare! Great content James! I see you doing your thing! You’d make a great PA!
I plan to take the GRE in the summer! Thank you for sharing your studying tips because it was soooo helpful and I hope to get my hands on these. Also, thank YOU overall for always being so inspiring, encouraging, and positive!
I plan on taking the GRE this fall. The person that inspire me is motivated people like you and everyone else around me :)
Hi James,
I value your advice and your willingness to give back to the community. I am planning on taking the GRE in July because you mentioned that we should have about 2-3 months of studying prior to taking the test. My Doctor is someone who has inspired me on my journey becoming a PA. He has informed me of how PA is a growing occupation in the medical field and we need more people in it. My doctor plays a big role in my education career and I hope to have the same attributes as him but in a physician assistant setting.
Thank you for sharing your tips! I plan on taking the GRE in the fall or in May next year. Honeslty you have inspired me to never give up on your dream. I’ve had my lows and thought about switching career choices, but your videos are so helpful!! Hope I win, TYTY
Hi James! I’m planning to take the GRE in July before applying to PA school this cycle. Someone who inspired me to be a PA was actually my grandmother’s physician assistant. I accompany her to every doctor’s visit and was able to see how warm and caring her She was to my grandmother. I was able to talk to her about the profession a couple of times and was inspired to pursue the career. Now that the application cycle is drawing near, I’m super nervous? but excited to try and get into a career I love!
My plan is to take the GRE next summer! You have inspired me and have introduced me to so many resources that I would have not found otherwise.
Hello James, I started following you few months ago. I will be taking the GRE this summer . I was inspired to pursue a career in the field of physician assistant studies by my college pre health advisor. And since then, I have watched people on CZcams including yourself that have also inspired me. I love your videos and you definitely keep me motivated.
I plan on taking it in a year but just want to say thanks for keeping this freshman hopeful about getting into PA school.
Hi! I just recently started watching your videos and they’ve been so helpful for me as a Pre-PA student. 😊 I’ll be taking the GRE in June. And someone who has inspired me is my doctor. He’s encouraged me to go into the medical field and ever since then I’ve fallen in love with medicine and it has led me to the PA profession.
I will be taking the GRE in the fall! I was inspired to be a PA when i had a family member with life-threatening injuries after a car accident and I saw how amazing health care can be. I decided on PA after watching videos and shadowing health care professionals and seeing how much patient interaction a PA gets when compared to a doctor.
Thanks for sharing man. I'm taking the GRE this Friday...only 2 weeks of studying. I hope it goes well.
Good luck Dan!
Dan, how did it go?!
I plan on taking the GRE end of May! Someone who has really inspired me on this pre-PA journey are my Camp Kesem co-counselors, especially the ones that are pre-health/ pre-med/ pre-PA. Their positivity and constant support keeps me going.
I plan to take the GRE in 5 months! I would say that a person who has inspired me through my journey is actually my doctor. I’m going through a really hard time right now and she is everything I want to be as a PA.
Cool quick advice, I was simply looking for scheduling an idea for approaching the exam. Thanks man!
I don’t know but James, when you say you take the test very seriously, I just felt so guilty for not studying for the GRE seriously. I feel much more motivated now!

Hey James! I plan to take the GRE late July and I started looking online for resources to use and sure enough perfect timing with your video! 👌 Someone who has inspired me throughout my journey is the famous Andrea Benedict from lifeasapa. Thanks for all the content you create!
Hi James,
I'm planning to take GRE in the month of July. I can't say that someone has inspired me, it just that eventually I have to do masters in my favorite field. But I could say that this video inspired me to get done my GRE preparation within 2 months. And the fact that I've been preparing for GRE from last three months without proper resources & guidance, so these resources gonna be so helpful for me. I wish I could be that lucky winner. Thanks man! Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work! 👍
How was it?
I loved this video I was in need of this content. So I'm going to be taking the GRE IN October of 2019. I'm super excited to be able to take this test now that I have the right outlets to study from. I chose health care because when I was a kid I used to visit the doctors and while I was in visiting one day I seen how my doctor was helping his other patients and making them feel more than just a number. I loved what I seen and from that day forth I knew I had to join this field. Now 4 years working in the medical field I have chosen I want to be a professional and have set out on my adventure. With a little bit of luck and confidence and support from my family and friends around me I'm going to make it happen. I plan to be in PA next year.
Going to give my GRE in the month of July... I got inspired by APJ ABDUL KALAM... Thank you for your support
Thanks for this cool opportunity ☺️ I’ll be taking mine in June! My aunt who is a doctor in Germany is definitely my inspiration.
Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks. They were suuuper helpful. I’m planning to take the GRE this summer!
Also, a friend of mine inspired me to become an occupational therapist. At the time, I was only an ABA therapist and she was servicing my student. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be on that career path.
I just realized I need to change my test date! 🙃 I was planning on taking it April 30 but that’s definitely not happening after watching this video!
I would say my inspiration to be a PA started when I started to notice some of the treatment that patients get from some providers that perhaps can’t understand where the patient is coming from.
Thank you so much for the useful teaching, tips, and the content. It was very helpful. Have a great day.
The information you provide on your channel is amazing! Thank you so so much
You're amazing!
Hi James 👋
Thank you for your advice. Truly appreciate it! I love the idea of writing the flash cards out using a one word definition. I plan on taking the GRE exam at the end of June or beginning of July. My friend Kayla (PA-C) introduced me to the PA profession and since then my desire to become a PA continues to grow stronger. Savanna from PA Platform continues to inspire me as well as many others now including you. I'm so glad I discovered your CZcams channel. Knowing myself, I'll binge watch most of your videos this weekend. 😄
Thanks in advance for all future advice,
Vlasta
Making a major switch from medical school to PA school and planning to take the GRE end of this summer! You’ve been such a big source of inspiration & gave me the courage to start over. It would mean the absolute 🌎 to win!! Thank you sooo much for your helpful IG posts & quotes. Keep it up up UP 🙌🏼 subbed on IG & YT 🤗
