Basically, I am applying currently and planning on submitting my app in the next couple days.
My first choice is UT Austin, followed by A&M and Houston.
Stats:
5 months working retail
99 PCAT
3.77 GPA
NOT many extracurrics/volunteering
Should be good on letters of rec
I think I should be able to do well on my interviews but I am very nervous for them (assuming I get some). I have a good GPA right now but I also want to finish out my major. To do so I would have to take 21 hours and 2 labs of fairly difficult upper division classes, and I could definitely risk my GPA falling some amount. I know GPA doesn't matter once you're in but I am downright scared about what would happen if I don't get in to UT or UH, and have to stay another year and apply again with a lower GPA.
I have 2 options: either man up, take a crazy schedule or drop one of my major but non prereqs to have an easier semester and not risk messing up my GPA if I need to keep it high to apply again.
Any advice is apprecitated
