Reddit reviews The Applicant's Manual of Physician Assistant Programs

I graduated with a similar GPA so I bought this book and looked for schools where the accepted student GPAs were on the lower side. However, just because you're GPA is below the school's average or below their range doesn't mean you won't get an interview! I've been lucky enough to interview at a few schools where the averages are 3.6 or 3.5 - 3.7

http://directory.paeaonline.org/ This website can give you some idea of the prereqs for each program, but the info is not always up to date. I used this book
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1976073847/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile to narrow down schools and get an idea of their costs and prereqs then double checked the school websites for clarification or emailed if the website was missing info.

Minimum prereqs

Developmental Psych

Anatomy & Phys 1 & 2 w/labs

Statistics

Bio 1 & 2 w/labs

Microbiology w/lab

Gen Chem 1 & 2 w/labs

Ochem 1 w/lab (not required by all but most)

Good to have and at least one are required by most in addition to those above:

Biochem

Medical Vocabulary

Medical Ethics

Nutrition

Genetics

Pathophysiology

Physics

Additional Bio Classes

There is already The Applicant's Manual of Physician Assistant Programs which is pretty comprehensive and written by a couple of practicing PAs from my program. (Mark V wrote like all our study guides and is amazing)

I think it's a pretty niche market if you're looking for an advice book since the one linked is already the go to book and you'd have about no chance of surpassing that book for any real market share.
