Overal GPA - (At Worst) 3.3 (At Best) 3.4
Pre Req - 3.3-3.4
Shadowing - 25 hours Inpatient at the VA, 40 Hours in a mix of settings at local hospital
Volunteering 25 Hours in the ER at the VA Hospital, 60 hours in Orthopedic gym at local hospital, couple food drives, a few still pending

Extra Circular - Intramural Basketball, POST, Elgie M Batteau Honor Society, few others
Work - 1 year as a GRE/ITELS proctor. A bunch of other random jobs to support myself
Army Vet, AA male

I feel like I have the most mediocre app ever, but I started really late and spend a lot of time at work. Also due to work, I can't take the GRE (because I proctor GREs) so that has really limited my school choice. I'm currently in the Southwest, and absolutely hate it here so I'm willing to move anywhere.


Thus Far I have

Midwestern
West Coast
Chicago State
Husson
Springfield
Tuffs
Western Michigan
Minnesota
Pacific

I can probably only afford to apply to 5,6 schools max. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

I'd take Pacific and Tufts off the list. You should have a pretty good shot with Husson. What about AIC instead of Springfield, or addition to Springfield? I dunno about thpse Midwestern places. Maybe add somewhere like Clarkson? Somewhere that's private, newer, and maybe not on OTCAS.

Hello. Thanks for the feedback. What is the deal with the Midwestern places?
