Hey guys! Need some direction on what to think and do going forward. I have not heard back from any schools yet and I am starting to get worried. This is my second time around and am trying my hardest to get in this cycle. I retook a couple pre req's to increase my last 60 and pre req gpa as my cumulative gpa is very low due to a bad first year and a half of my academic career. I tried to narrow my schools down to the ones that focus on last 60 gpa, but I did include some that looked at overall since I was able to meet the requirements and hoped they might look deeper into my application. I even applied out of state to help increase my chances. Please let me know what you guys think, any insight you might have, or even schools you recommend i take a look at applying to! I'll take anything I can get 🙂

Most schools don't send out acceptance letters till January. So try not to get too worried
 
I feel you will be fine. Don't worry your stats combined with your EC's make a solid application!!
