Your grades in your pre-reqs, as I'm sure you already know, are not all that great. And most PA schools will count both the original grade and the retake grade in your GPA. So I am concerned about your ability to get into PA school. I strongly encourage you to apply, because it's not like you have no shot at getting in. But know this is a long shot, so it's a good idea to have some alternative careers in mind, should this not work out for you.
When you take your remaining PA school pre-reqs, get a tutor from week one, and work with them for the entire term. Try to improve your grades in your pre-reqs. In addition, I'd suggest that, for pre-reqs where your original grade was a C or lower, you consider taking one additional class in that subject beyond the pre-reqs. And that you get a tutor for it, because you need to ace it.
