I originally planned to apply to DO school this coming cycle but after doing some extensive shadowing/interviewing I am opting for the PA route. I don't have a ton of PA shadowing ~25 hours, which may increase over this semester. Right now I am unsure where my time would be best spent in order to be a competitive applicant.
Stats
cGPA 3.02
sGPA 3.66
Major in Sociology w/minor in Biology
~200 hours of research experience
~2,500 hours of HCE (Trauma intake and paperwork for squads/life flights)
~900 hours of PCE (Airforce Base Hospital as a civillian)
Registered for the GRE this summer, but feeling confident in my ability to get at least an average score.
Now, I am uncertain what I should focus on in order to be a competitive applicant. It will take roughly 40 credits to raise my cGPA by ~.2%, if I maintain the same average GPA I've had for my last 3 semesters. This is manageable but it would be expensive and would push back my application another year. I graduate this summer in August, so I have the chance to raise my GPA nominally while also gaining a couple hundred more PCE hours.
