What sort of advice can you give on preparing for the academic riggors that PA school demands? How about advice on studying?
I have been in contact with our state AMEDD recruiter, searched the website and read the information available there and feel I have a good plan in place, but I believe it is important to learn from professionals who have successfuly completed similary challenges.

The first thing you need to do is some research. If you have done your research and you have a plan like you say you do...awesome. Why are you asking questions that you already have the answers to?
I have posted answers to these questions all over the internet. Here, SOCNet, Mil DOT com (shudder
) - there are literally PAGES of posts on your EXACT questions. Spoon feeding is not going to happen. Not here, not in PA School.
I will throw you this one "bone"; put your packet together per the regulation and the IPAP website - they want people who can follow instructions, pay attention to detail, and complete the program of instruction to standard. If you get accepted - study; if you graduate, continue to study.
Medicine doesn't stop with your diploma, and a 70% is only passing if you can pick and choose which 3 of your 10 closest friends and family you will allow to die because you were too lazy to learn the other 30%.
