I have a low Gpa from undergrad 2.36 that was 7 years ago. I have been working so hard now I have a 3.64 Gpa in my sciences. I was thinking about taking the gres or mcats depending on which one would help me more to get into pa school. I have 100+ hours of observation and am trying to gain at least 500 with different drs. What can I do to make myself more likely to get in to a program? Should I get another bachelors?

Nice on the science GPA, but what is your cGPA(cumulative)? That's gonna be the kicker so you aren't auto screened. You take the GRE for PA and MCAT for med schools. I believe the GRE you would need is around a 310. I have no clue what that entails, but I heard it from my sister because she is looking into PA school right now.

Remember that PA school is just as competitive as med school. Don't think you can slide in just as easy considering they usually require more clinical hours too.
