cGPA ~3.5, sGPA ~3.4, MCAT 34

[Shjuna1]

Hello, I'm wondering what you all think about my chances, and if you could possibly name some schools that wold be good for me to apply to.

I'm a California Resident and went to a UC.

My MCAT breakdown is PS10 VR11 BS13. I have a strong upward trend in GPA. My first two years I averaged around a 3.1, but second two years around a 3.75-3.8. Also I did pretty well in upper division science courses that I took in the second two years.

I have a lot of pretty good clinical experiences with good LORs from those clinicians. I have a good amount of shadowing as well. Although probably weaker in leadership, non clinical community service, and research.

Thanks in advance for the help

Besides applying to any appropriate state or regional schools, consider researching some of these schools to see if their mission, weather, safety, curriculum, proximity to home, and cost match what you're looking for. It is important for the schools you pick to be a good fit for you on many levels, aside from stats. Some state schools prefer you to have state ties if OOS.

[School's score (using median acceptee stats) doesn't include the +1.]
