My GPA is currently 2.7 on 4.0 scale.....I go to a UC; I'm planning on bringing my gpa back up.....but I was just wondering if there are any schools that'd admit me with a 2.7gpa in Biology.
If not a PA...I don't wanna go to med school, but i wanna do something related to biology....I don't mind another 2yrs of school as long as I get a good job afterwards.....any suggestions.....my gpa is not great as you can see....so considering my gpa....what can i do?

Schools for PA in So Cal: 1. Drew medical school 2. USC school of medicine 3. The old University of the Pacific (has changed its name to something like Western Center for health sciences) in the Pomona area.
You are actually competing against the applicant pool; so if everyone who applied that year had a 4.0 you would not get in; if they all had a 1.6; then you'd be first choice. However, currently PA school is pretty competitive. Other careers include: radiologic technology; respiratory care practitioner, ultra sound, nuclear med tech, lab technologist, nutritionist, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dietician, research positions (very varied), risk management, all sorts of field biology jobs. I would talk to someone who can advise you in the UC system (they should be able to provide that service in the career services area).

I was looking not too long ago at Cleveland Chiropractic College-Los Angeles, and I believe their admission requirements, in addition to having the prerequisite courses and the baccalaureate degree were a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
As far as Physician Assistant Programs, There are others who could advise you better as I am not as familiar with the PA programs in So Cal..
Good Luck in your future!

LACHSA is the l. a. County severe college for the humanities, placed next to Cal State l. a... yet that isn't any longer a great community. you may desire to inspect Flintridge Prep, a private college placed in l. a. Cañada, 10 miles northeast of downtown la. It has an astounding academic acceptance, and a colourful appearing arts branch. in certainty, a marginally well-known actor is presently a pupil there (you may understand the call, yet i do no longer prefer to "out" all people right here on the information superhighway). commence finding for residences in l. a. Cañada and l. a. Crescenta. that's a great place to stay, and not too some distance from Hollywood and Burbank, the place you will maximum in all probability be going for auditions.
