Apply to all your Texas schools and you should receive several interviews. For AMCAS schools include TCU-UNT and Tulane.

Not enough detail on your community service activities to comment. How much networking have you had with populations that are widely represented throughout Texas? Any involvement with recruitment events among medical schools in the state?

IMO, the MCAT score may not get you any attention far outside Texas.

Thanks for your advice! What additional detail would be helpful? I’d be happy to provide it.

By networking, do you mean interaction with patient populations common in Texas?

As for involvement with recruitment events, I admittedly don’t have much, but there are some admissions professionals visiting my college soon, would it be as simple as chatting/small talk with them? What type of involvement are you referring to?

Apologies for the barrage of questions but I appreciate your insight

I don't mean to sound rude, but ANY detail. You only wrote: "~300 hours - split across 2 main activities, considering adding another. These do address underserved populations". Embedded with my second question is the question about specific patient populations that are underserved in Texas... what do you mean by this? (It sounds like you just use key phrases without any understanding of the meaning behind it.)

As for recruitment events, yes, this includes meeting with admissions professionals, current and graduated students, faculty, and student affairs professionals at the schools you are attending. If you were previously involved in any pipeline programs with these schools, that information would be better.

In general, if I see cliches and buzzwords, I think "box checker" and not worth the admissions committee's time. If you are worried about privacy, we have the "Ask the Experts" confidential section.
