I am trying to create a school list but due to my eclectic experiences, GPA, MCAT and other circumstances admit.org and my advisors are all over the place so I don’t know where else to get help for my list. Here is my info:
44 year old Texas resident URM(Native American) low ses, first gen college, grew up in rural medically underserved area(ranch with closest clinic 30 miles away), prior army officer and helicopter pilot. I have 800 hours volunteering at the Red Cross some of which is leadership. I have 10 years of project management experience in software and oil exploration. 8000 hours clinical experience none of which is paid due to volunteering, caregiver/hospice, shadowing (3 drs one of which I got to scrub in and watch close up for a brain tumor resection), 3 outstanding LORs( one from my mentor who was also my professor and is a ped neurologist, one from a spine surgeon who is the Dallas Cowboys physician). Due to a poor GPA on my degree from 2002 in history caused by deaths of family members over 2 semesters, my GPA outside TX (did fresh start) is a 2.85. My Texas GPA is a 3.4. I had a helicopter crash in the army that hurt my back so the first few semesters of my second degree that I got in 2021 were not so good. I got treatment for my back including spine fusion that alleviated all pain. After starting treatment my GPA for last 80 hours is a 3.9. My MCAT is a 510. So as you can see my application is all over the place. I will of course apply to all Texas schools but I’m trying to figure out a list for out of state. Currently I have Tulane, Dartmouth, Mich State, Toledo, and Ohio state( wife’s family lives there.) I speak Spanish and Urdu( my wife is from India.) Thank you so much.
