Hi everyone & thank you in advance.
I am posting for my girlfriend, regarding her competitiveness in applying. Her application is submitted but she's having some doubts so she's considering applying to more schools, so I was hoping you all could help! Here we go:
-Graduated December 2015 w/ B.S. Psychology
- 3.39 cGPA 3.51 sGPA
-attended CC after graduation, 4.0 in all prereqs (taking Biochemistry & Organic Chemistry II this Fall)
-GRE: 152 verbal, 156 math, 3.5 writing
-800+ hours volunteering throughout undergrad (some leadership positions in Nursing student organizations)
-2000+ hours working as a medical scribe (w/ a Hispanic doctor that sees a majority of Spanish speaking patients (my friend is bilangual)
-300+ hours shadowing a PA in urgent care setting
This is the most relevant stuff I could think of that could help y'all in assessing her chances. She's also first generation college student in her family, URM (Mexican-American) and bilangual. TX resident, hoping to get some advice on what OOS schools to aim for as the ones she was going to apply to seem like reaches / very competitive to get into so I wanted to help her out! Thank you!
EDIT: So far the OOS schools she thinks she's applying to are UC Davis, USC (Keck), Touro, and Colorado Aurora - any opinions on what schools aren't worth applying to or what to add??
