Although my MCAT is decently solid, my lower GPA is making it difficult to formulate my list. I am definitely looking to add some more target schools. Any help would be appreciated.


1) 3.55 cGPA and sGPA (upward trend, 3.95 past 2 semesters)

2) 514 MCAT (128/127/128/131)

3) FL resident

4) 1st gen American/ 1st gen college

5) Attended large, well-known state school

6) ORM

7) 130 hours clinical volunteering

8) 700 Hours Research

9) Co-author publication

10) Co-author international poster presentation

11) 20 Hours Physician Shadowing (Primary care + other specialties)

12) ~100 hours non-clinical volunteering

13) Re-applicant – received 1 interview last cycle

Albert Einstein

Central Mich

Rosalind Franklin

Cooper

Creighton

How does your app this year compared to last year's? Have you taken the MCAT only once? Looking to see what changes/improvements you made since last year...

I Retook MCAT from a 508 and my GPA went up from a 3.4. Also got published and added some volunteering.

Central Michigan, Cooper, Arizona, SUNY Downstate accept few non residents with your GPA and no connection to the state.
You could add these schools:
NOVA MD
Vermont
Seton Hall
Penn State
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
