Texas - gpa 3.05, sgpa 3.4, mcat 519

[Kanzi]

1. gpa 3.05, sgpa 3.4
2. 130/130/128/131
3. TX
4. White
5. Don't wanna share but it's a mediocre state school
6. 1y paid clinical
7. I authored a meta analysis project relevant to psychiatry but never published
8. Psych
9. Can't say bc dox
10. Can't say bc dox; relevant to psychiatry
11. None
12. Strong background in physical therapy, cursory knowledge of omm

I have some pretty glaring gaps in my undergrad education due to taking a year off to work and attend community college, plus taking a year off to attend a drug and alcohol rehab.

I read somewhere an MCAT above 517 w a low gpa would make schools think ur smart but lazy and possibly difficult to work with. mildly true in my case. i'm in texas, shsu is my #1 and my plans coincide heavily w their mission, but w a 3.05 gpa i can't take anything for granted... tcom is prob out of reach, and w uiw's tuition prices i might as well spam oos apps on aacomas.

Would appreciate any advice on how to appeal to shsu given that I have genuine interest in working in east texas

A 519 MCAT is competitive for all DO schools and for OOS DO schools I suggest these:
AZCOM
CCOM
DMU-COM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
MU-COM
OSU-COM
PCOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
ACOM
You could also receive interviews at Texas MD schools.
