You probably want to consider going to PA School (Physician Assistant). PA's are highly trained medical experts who work under the supervision of physicians. Please don't confuse PAs with Medical Assistants. Basically PAs are more than nurses but not doctors. They can practice medicine in most fields like OB/Gyn, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, ENT... and more. The advantage of this career is that you spend only two years to get your master in Health Sceince and then you are off to see patients with a flexible schedule and a life of your own.  Try researching this career... plus, the pay is extremely competitive.

If I were you I would seriously look into PA (Physician Assistant) programs. They perform a lot of duties a physician would normally do (physical exams, minor procedures, prescribe meds). They do this under a doctor's supervision. Most programs are about 2 years after a bachelor's degree and the pay is pretty good.\nGood Luck!

Depends on the program you're applying for. Most PA programs would like you to have at least some health care experience, I know some people that get this by volunteering though. The best thing to do is to start looking at the programs you're interested in and finding out what the specific req's are. I've attached a link to the American Academy of Physician Assistants programs page... and actually the whole site is pretty helpful for setting you up for admission. Hope this helps!

Yes you will get a good school.\nGPA is an important part of the admission selection process.However  there are some other factors which are of equal significance:\n1.Standardized Test Scores\n2.GRE subject schools scores. As some high ranked schools require this.\n3.Recommendations\n4.Essay\n5.Your extra curricular activities\n6.Your Resume\n\nLet me tell you that good is a very relative term. The school that is good for you need not be good for some other student.\nSelection of the right program should be one of the most important part of this process.\nWhile selecting the program take into account the following factors not necessarily  in the order presented :\n1.Your interest - whether you want to go for research or theory programs.\n2.Ranking and the reputation of the program. \n3.Whether your credentials are compatible to the university requirements.\n4.Costs of the program.Has the university reputation for offering financial help.\n5. Have you found a professor who is willing to be your research mentor.\n6. Location of the University.\nGood Luck\nNBS

Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement[About this section] Back to Top\nAll States require that PAs complete an accredited, formal education program and pass a National exam to obtain a license. PA programs usually last at least 2 years and are full time. Most programs are in schools of allied health, academic health centers, medical schools, or 4-year colleges; a few are in community colleges, the military, or hospitals. Many accredited PA programs have clinical teaching affiliations with medical schools.\n\nIn 2005, more than 135 education programs for physician assistants were accredited or provisionally accredited by the American Academy of Physician Assistants. More than 90 of these programs offered the option of a master’s degree, and the rest offered either a bachelor’s degree or an associate degree. Most applicants to PA educational programs already have a bachelor’s degree.\n\nAdmission requirements vary, but many programs require 2 years of college and some work experience in the health care field. Students should take courses in biology, English, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, and the social sciences. Many PAs have prior experience as registered nurses, while others come from varied backgrounds, including military corpsman/medics and allied health occupations such as respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and emergency medical technicians and paramedics.\n\nPA education includes classroom instruction in biochemistry, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, microbiology, clinical pharmacology, clinical medicine, geriatric and home health care, disease prevention, and medical ethics. Students obtain supervised clinical training in several areas, including family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, prenatal care and gynecology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, psychiatry, and pediatrics. Sometimes, PA students serve one or more of these “rotations” under the supervision of a physician who is seeking to hire a PA. The rotations often lead to permanent employment.\n\nAll States and the District of Columbia have legislation governing the qualifications or practice of physician assistants. All jurisdictions require physician assistants to pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination, administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and open only to graduates of accredited PA education programs. Only those successfully completing the examination may use the credential “Physician Assistant-Certified.” In order to remain certified, PAs must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every 2 years. Every 6 years, they must pass a recertification examination or complete an alternative program combining learning experiences and a take-home examination.\n\nSome PAs pursue additional education in a specialty such as surgery, neonatology, or emergency medicine. PA postgraduate educational programs are available in areas such as internal medicine, rural primary care, emergency medicine, surgery, pediatrics, neonatology, and occupational medicine. Candidates must be graduates of an accredited program and be certified by the NCCPA.\n\nPhysician assistants need leadership skills, self-confidence, and emotional stability. They must be willing to continue studying throughout their career to keep up with medical advances.\n\nAs they attain greater clinical knowledge and experience, PAs can advance to added responsibilities and higher earnings. However, by the very nature of the profession, clinically practicing PAs always are supervised by physicians.

I can't answer your question directly, but I recommend checking with the American Academy of Physician's Assistants at aapa.org.  I'm sure you will be much more likely to find an answer to your question there.

Depends on what you want to major in. Stanford, USC, UC Berkley (Cal), and UCLA all have great business programs. The Cal Poly system has great schools if you are looking for the sciences. Most schools in the UC system have good medical programs. Try the link below to get more information on the type of college you are looking for.
