Editor's notes
- Yale's 2027-entry deadline (September 1, 2026) has passed; for the next cycle, note that review is rolling and interviews run October through November, so the earliest complete files (verified CASPA, GRE, three letters, supplemental, at most one prerequisite in progress) are considered first. The supplemental application asks short essays about your readiness for the PA profession and for Yale specifically, so prepare program-specific answers rather than reusing your CASPA statement. Yale recommends but does not require about 1,000 hands-on patient care hours and highly values community service with underserved populations; it does not help applicants find PA shadowing.
