Suggest those UT schools that have a floor as low as your MCAT and any DO school. Your 26 is rather lethal for MD schools, but being a Texan will help.
I know my MCAT is bad... I looked at MSAR's 10-90 percentiles and most Texas schools (except UTSW, UT Houston, and Baylor) begin at 26. Should I even waste my time applying to them or just apply to more DO schools? The reason I'm not retaking is because my AAMC avg was around 27-28, and I figured applying very early with a 26 may be more beneficial than a late application with a 27.[/QUOTE]
