      "I completed my master's degree in physician assistant studies with a cumulative GPA of 3.2. I managed to keep up with the program despite how extremely rigorous it was. It's kind of hard to take credit for the success of my GPA though, as most classes were based on a pass or fail grade. I think I did exceptionally well and mastered the content I learned, proven by how well I did in my clinical rotations, where I had a cumulative grade of 94%."
