I am a chemical engineering major at a Texas university, and I was looking for some feedback on my school selection.
cGPA: 3.81
sGPA: 3.72
MCAT: 36 (12PS/12VR/12BS)
Research Experience
Assume all recommendations are solid but not spectacular.
School List
All Texas Schools (Baylor, UT Southwestern, A&M, Texas Tech, UT Houston, UTMB, UTSA, TCOM)
Reach Schools
1. Am I applying to enough schools? I am a Texas resident and would prefer to attend one of them due to cost, but I was wondering if there were other schools I should consider.
2. Do I have a shot at top schools, or would it be largely unrealistic?
