Hi everyone! I am new the SDN and this is my first post so please forgive me if it sounds off or weird, not used to this! Also, sorry for the long post!
I am in a little bit of a dilemma. I am an Ohio resident and attended undergrad there. I’m a non-grad who started off as pre-med, ventured off into to many different fields, and ultimately found myself in a post-bacc program in Texas to re-take some old pre-reqs I didn’t do well in/finish the ones I didn’t take. I went straight from undergrad to this post bacc program and will complete it this semester! At this point, I’ve been in Texas for over a year and meet the requirements to obtain residency (my partner lives here so I did not move solely for school and thus have a permanent address). My problem is that my stats are not the highest and though my advisor is pushing me to obtain Texas residency, I’m nervous that my chances of getting into med school being an Ohio resident may be higher.
Additionally, I’m overall curious if I’ve accomplished “reinventing myself”.
In case stats are important:
Graduated with a non-science degree and 3.9 gpa in my degree specifically.
Last 75 credit hours have been all A’s and one B+.
26 out of the 75 credit hours are pre-reqs (+Microbio).
3 of the pre-reqs I took in my post-bacc where retakes and I got A’s in them (except the B+ which was in Gen Chem 2 Lec, but A in the lab).

Have strong Rec letters from Ochem 1, Physics 2, Microbio, and Gen Chem 2 profs and committee letter from my Post-Bacc program.
MCAT: Taking Sept this year, aiming 513+
Most of my bad grades for cGPA are early on from when I switched majors a lot. Many of them are Econ courses, comp sci courses, and really classes that aren’t relevant to med school. My 3.9 GPA for my major is because I switched later in my college career, so although I got a 3.9 I already had so many weighted credits it didn’t do much.
I am open to both MD and DO, and if it matters
I like both Ohio and Texas and wouldn’t mind either one! (Though that Texas tuition is nice haha).
Also I am ORM if it matters but first Gen (mom didn’t grad high school, dad didn’t grad college).
Thank you in advance
