Because of the way we use GPA data, you really cannot improve your GPA without obtaining a graduate degree, or at least accumulating a large number of graduate hours with a good graduate GPA. If you do have a large number of graduate hours (e.g. 20+ hours), make sure we become aware of your successful efforts at graduate study. Since you may not be able to increase your GPA score, you will need to increase your scores in other areas (i.e. GRE and interview). See similar questions...

There is no minimum score. We look very closely at test scores because we have found that to some degree, successful completion of the doctoral coursework and thesis research is highly predicted by strong scores on these tests. However, this is only one of several criteria that determines acceptance into the doctoral program. We also look closely at transcripts to ensure that applicants' skills meet the demands of the program. See similar questions...
