I was originally going to apply to PA school this summer, but I don't believe my application is strong enough. My GPA is barely at the minimum: overall of 3.27 and sGPA of 3.14. I have over 3250 patient care hours as a scribe, but my GPA concerns me. I am graduating from my 4 year university this May and do not want to come back for another semester (so expensive) and I'd like to take as many classes at community college as possible. My plan is to work as an EMT-B over the next year to further boost my application as well. Anyway, I'm posting all the classes I got C's in (and 1 D unfortunately) and would like to know the best ones to retake. I also have a somewhat downward grade trend which I know hurts my application and I don't have an excuse for except for illness and having to work. I won't be taking the GRE until 2020 shortly before I apply. I'm just looking for the best ways to improve my app until then.
Anatomy and Physiology II Lab: 1 credit - C. (Got a B in the 3 credit lecture)
Organic Chemistry I: 4 credits - C. (Got a B in the 1 credit lab)
Organic Chemistry II: 3 credits - C. (No lab taken)
Human Physiology Capstone: 4 credits - C ( I know this one is going to sting the most, like, a lot)
Molecular Genetics: 3 credits -D (Only D in college, but at least it's for a non prereq)
Thank you guys for your input!
EDIT: If I retook all of the above classes and got an A in all of them, my GPA would increase to approximately ~3.57.
