Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: I had a slip up in grades my freshman year and it brought my gpa from a 3.6 to a 3.5. I've been able to stabilize my gpa but there isn't a crazy upward trend. It would depend, some semesters were 3.7's and others were 3.3's etc. Plus I know my QR is lower but I thought it was better than getting a 16 in Bio.
School list: (I'm interested in specializing and schools that are more research based)
UF
NOVA
LECOM
Marquette
UPitt
UNC
UMichigan (so/so)
Midwestern-IL
UTennessee
Ohio State
Please leave any suggestions! I want to apply broadly but I'm just not too familiar with other schools that accept lower stats.
