Low gpa, decent MCAT. What do you think of this school list?

VCOM likes to see high GPA I'm pretty sure.

the mcat may help you at PNWU because I believe like 85% of their incoming class comes from that area I am inclined to ask why you wouldn't just want to wait a year and take another 12-18 credits and get that gpa up to above a 3.1/3.2 making it an easier cycle for you. Either way most likely you'll see some love from the western states I would think

I also heard that VCOM likes high GPAs. It's the only school I haven't gotten a secondary from yet. If you do decide to apply, don't waste the $45 on each one in AACOMAS. Just apply to your #1 campus, because when you do the secondary you rank your preferences of campuses (1 application is basically good for all 3 campuses, even though you can select all 3 on the AACOMAS app).

I would also remove LUCOM, Touro-NY, and LECOM-Bradenton for other reasons

Nowhere near enough for PCOM

I've been in college for 5 years and have a ton of credits. I might have better chances if I took yet another year of classes but I don't really want to do that. After I got my MCAT back in July I decided to give it a shot this cycle. I really don't care where I go as long as it's U.S. soil. I know I'll bust my tail to be a great doctor regardless of the school. Just need one of them to take a chance on me

I probably wouldn't bother with PCOM , CCOM , or NYITCOM. But keep your head up OP I think you got a shot.
