Do psychology. This way you'll learn more about people's behaviors and how different age groups act etc. (you'll deal with a lot of people as a PA). PA schools might like to see that added to the science major you already have, you'll be more well rounded.

don't minor in anything

concentrate on your major and get really good grades

use any free time to find an EMT class (Emergency Medical Technician) 
these can be found at community colleges in their continuing education department, at fire departments and at private training agencies (use a phone book or google)

this will allow you to ride in an ambulance (and sometimes work in a hospital) so you can get your patient care requirement

http://healthtechnology.stonybrookmedicine.edu/programs/pa/elpa/admissions/requirements 
"Work experience as a nurse, nurse's aide, medic, corpsman, medical laboratory technologist, respiratory therapist, emergency medical technician, counselor in a health care setting, etc. can meet this requirement."

https://www.uwlax.edu/Physician-Assistant-Studies-MS/Healthcare-Experience/ 
"Among the positions commonly selected and more readily available with minimal training are nursing assistant, phlebotomist, and EMT."
