Well what are you interested in? This is the rest of your life, you shouldn't pick something just for GPA purposes. You're a junior now how about you work on bringing your GPA up, there are programs out there (in many different health professions) that will look at your last 60 credits GPA.

You stated in the thread title that you're trying to get in to PTA school, those programs are associate programs I suggest looking at different programs and seeing what is required to apply and them re-taking classes that you need for that.

I would say you can't really get into many graduate programs right now with your current GPA but you CAN work to change that and pursue anything you want. I graduated with a 2.5 GPA, but I turned it around after that and retook a bunch of classes and got my head on straight. I agree with above poster....figure out what you are passionate about first. If you don't know, spend the next semester or so shadowing a whole bunch of health care fields. When you know what you want to do, the work becomes a lot easier to do.
