Hello. What do you all think my chances are at the schools listed, granted I get around a 515 on the MCAT? I know my gpa is low, and makes some of these schools a reach. Please provide your thoughts and possible suggestions to schools I should apply to. I would like to move north, somewhere cold. Gaining more clinical experience now, and will have much more by secondaries. Please be kind.
