My application is pretty much complete (PS done, editing work and activities section but everything else is in) and I got my MCAT score back today. Here are my stats:

MCAT: 513, 89th percentile, 128/127/129/129
sGPA: 3.38
cGPA: 3.62

Majors: Biology and Women, Gender & Sexuality

Part of the reason my science GPA is low is because I got a C+ in Cell Biology. I took this course fall of my sophomore year, with no prior Biology courses at my university. This is one of the core courses and is very difficult. Since then I took courses in the same subject and received an A- and A. When graphing my sGPA it trends upward. This is obviously the part of my application I am worried about.

Also, I am a Virginia resident.

Here are the schools I am thinking about applying to:

Cooper Medical School of Rowan University

Drexel University

George Washington

Georgetown

Mercer

Morehouse

Penn State

Thomas Jefferson

Tulane

USC Columbia

Medical College of Georgia at Augusta

Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple

EVMS

VCU

Virginia Tech

Tufts

UMD

UNC Chapel Hill

Brown

Wake Forest

Cooper, UNC, Mercer and Georgia accept very few non residents with your stats. Unless you are URM delete Morehouse. You could add schools such as:
Quinnipiac
NYMC
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
St. Louis
Creighton
