Hi everyone,

I'm a career changer applying to PBPM programs including top programs (Goucher, Scripps, BM).

I feel pretty good about my application overall:
- IRTA Postbac Research Fellow at the NIH for 2.5 years (neuroscience lab w. clinical population)
- Undergrad GPA: 3.77
- Volunteered with underserved communities for 4 years
- Worked as a behavior technician for 2 years
- Clinical shadowing with MDs

My concern is my low ACT score. I scored a 23 on the ACT almost 10 years. Will this be an application killer for top programs?
