Hey all,
I have a 3.97 GPA (3.95 sGPA) and am double majoring in Physiology and Nutritional Sciences from a state school. I took the MCAT in january and got a 30Q (my AAMC range was 29-34, so I wasn't sure if I should retake or not...)
I have research experience (1 summer internship and will be starting a year long project soon), a decent amount of shadowing (50 hours in ER, 30 in private practice, 20 in cardiology/radiology, hoping to get more this summer), a ton of campus involvement (president of pre-health honor society, resident advisor for pre-health community, stuco, Relay for life, etc.) , multiple volunteering experiences (working with mentally handicapped and disadvantaged children), etc.
I should also have strong LOR's and I've been told that my personal statement is awesome. Also, I've interviewed with my Pre-health committee and they said that I was in the top tier as far as how well I interviewed.
I have residency in Oklahoma and Colorado and these are the schools I want to apply to:
Colorado
Oklahoma
Baylor
UTSW
UT Houston
UT San Antonio
Kansas
I know that I have a good shot at Oklahoma (especially since I had an internship there), but I'm really not sure if I could be competitive at Colorado (IS) or any of the Texas schools listed (OOS).
What do you all think?? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
