I'm finishing up my application and trying to decide whether or not to apply out of state. My stats look like this:
GPA - 3.39
sGPA - 3.40
MCAT - 33S
4 and a half years in the Army, honorable discharge
Approximately 200 volunteer hours, mostly healthcare related
16 hours of shadowing - pediatricians and a urologist.
Texas resident
I know my GPA is low, but my MCAT score is above average. I'm applying to all the MD schools in Texas, including Baylor, which means that I'm already doing the AMCAS application. UT Houston is my top choice, but in all reality, my favorite medical school is the one that lets me in. I'm willing to go anywhere, but I don't know if it would be reasonable to apply elsewhere. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated!
