I was expecting a higher MCAT score (got my score today) to offset my lower GPA, so I'm now having trouble figuring out which schools outside of Texas would be worth applying to especially as a nontrad. I currently live in Boston, but I don't have MA residency.
I'm also wondering if I have too many "reaches" and not enough "targets?"
Open to any suggestions, thanks!
