How hard is it to get into a PA school straight from undergrad?

I understand PA programs want a lot of healthcare experience, and I am currently working as a CNA while obtaining my bachelors degree. The average age of people graduating from PA school is around 30, so what occupation did these people have before?

With a pretty strong GPA (around a 3.8), strong GRE and about 2000 hours of healthcare experience, will I have good chances being accepted straight into a PA program? Or do most programs want more experience?

If all 2000 hours are indeed clinical hours (cna), you have a strong application for PA school.
