Hello I'm currently a junior with a 2.65 gpa. I still have a few biology electives to take but i was wondering how high would i need to raise my gpa to be accepted in an anesthesiologist assistant school even though many of the school's say a 2.7 is the minimum?

As of now your chances are not good. I would contact the admissions offices of the schools you're interested in attending and ask what a competitive GPA and GRE/MCAT would be (not the same as the required minimums). This may give you an idea of what you need to shoot for, and I would recommend aiming for test scores well above the competitive level to compensate for your lower grades.

You have effectively a zero percent chance. In order to pull your GPA up you have to get all A's from here on out and still probably have to retake some classes.

Well i still have to take orgo 1 and 2, algebra based physics 1 &2, a stats and probability class and maybe 4 or 5 bio electives. I think these classes should be enough to help me with my gpa
