"I graduated near the top of my class with a 3.9 GPA and am very proud of my accomplishments during my undergraduate studies. The experience taught me to study hard and set attainable goals for myself, and these are attributes that I know will help me in any Physician Assistant program."

Talk openly and honestly to the interviewers about your undergrad experience and overall grade point average. If you were satisfied with your GPA, describe the hard work you put into achieving it. If you were not satisfied with your GPA, don't hesitate to bring up any struggles you had and how you successfully worked through them. The important thing that the team at Western University School of Health Sciences will be looking for is what you learned that you can bring to your studies in their Physician Assistant program.
