3.81 overal GPA, 3.72 science GPA but a 500 MCAT. I’m a Utah resident and have currently applied to 11 schools(secondaries submitted). What are my chances at II?? Should I applied to more schools and which ones will I have higher chances at?

Your gpa is really good. Mcat is low obv but depending on your extracurriculars you’d probably be fine if you apply to a wide range of schools. Also if you have the money for it I would apply to your MD state school too.
Edit: just saw you applied to 11 schools. Can we get a school list? And a extracurriculars list?

Sounds like some solid extracurriculars.
I would add William Carey. They’re a Christian college and UWISOM is as well so it’s good that one is on your list. You’ll probably fit their mission.
I would also add DMU, the pcoms, touro Nevada, Rowan, UNE, and maybe nyit. If you’re in the pnw area I would also throw an app at pnwu.

Also don’t freak out if you don’t get an II right away. I got my first in December and then got 4 from late January-april.

Thank you! I’m applying to PCOMs, Touro Nevada, and UNE as well! Might as well go big! Also just received an II from ARCOM so that’s a good sign! Let’s go!
