FWIW here is what I think. These stats look great for at least one SoCal PA program. Decent for another. The rest may ding you for HCE. Get the PA shadowing out of the way, at least 20 hours. I would recommend doing all of it in FP. You might want to go back and get as many hours of HCE as a CCE as you can forget doing the Admin thing. Attend every PA program information session in SoCal you can. You might find out from the California Academy of Physician Assistants if there is there is a local PA group in your area and see if you can attend their meetings as a guest. I don't know where you did your undergrad so I can't tell you if there's any pro-PA resources you might take advantage. Good luck in your future PA endeavors.
