Hello! I will be reapplying next summer with a somewhat winding history:
I'm worried because my obvious GPA shortcomings will be scrutinized even more by seemingly GPA-loving Texas schools. I'm also wondering how my abysmal grad GPA will be taken into account.
I just moved into a new city, working as a tutor for money and continuing shadowing (thinking of continuing research for $$ as well). Do you guys have any suggestions of what I should focus on this year, especially as a reapplicant? My primary goal is to get into somewhere in Texas.
Any take on my situation would be very much appreciated, I feel so disillusioned at this point of where I actually stand. Thanks in advance!
- Asian, 3.49 cGPA, 3.31 sGPA, top 20 engineering-heavy school
- MCAT: 513 (129, 127, 129, 128) taken this summer
- Very research heavy, 4+ years so far, two 2nd authorship + some others (75% bench, 25% clinical), one presentation
- 80+ hours shadowing (ED + Trauma/ortho surgery)
- Clinical volunteer: low-ish, I am planning upcoming year around a somewhat large volunteering project.
- Texas resident (would love to go to TX school)
