UG= 3.16 cum, UG sGPA = 2.86
Total GPA science= 3.09 w/ DAT AA 22 (no section below a 19)
good ECs. Undergrad degree was in Foreign Languages. Ok shadowing. Research experience.

Schools: VCU, UNC, MUSC, MCG, LECOM, NOVA, UF.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance

That grad GPA with that DAT is perfect. Just make sure to apply early (everything complete at the latest by June 26), and I would suggest to be safe add at least 3 more schools, maybe even up to 8 more schools to make it a total of 15 schools you're applying to. I know it's gonna be expensive but it's better safe than sorry, you want to maximize your chances rather than reapply if those 7 schools somehow don't work out! I'm a VA resident and VCU didn't work out for me.

Just noticed too but I saw UF on there, they are usually very unfriendly for OOS. Just a suggestion to replace UF and perhaps add UMKC, BU, NYU, UMD, Tufts, Temple, MWU-IL and MWU-AZ and OSU.

I would add University of alabama ... Im trying to avoid the schools too far up north because of the snow... I know VCU is flakey. Unc would be a dream!
