are you applying this cycle?

 

[Studentofdeen]

No. I was thinking about after the summer when I take the exam

18-19 is not very strong for the UCs - would not apply if you do get that score. Howard is a good choice but only if you are URM. While your GPA is high, your major is not a science (also so what is your sGPA?). You also need enough shadowing and volunteering, and to apply early in the cycle.

you have a lot more time to study for the exam if you are not taking it until next summer...

 

[Studentofdeen]

Yes thanks. I'm going to all I can to aim higher. I'm just nervous and preparing for the worst. As for my science gpa...too be honest I'm not sure. I believe it should be close to that since I only received one B. You also said do not apply to Howard unless I'm URM? What does that mean? So there is a possibility I could get rejected from all these schools?

As for shadowing, I'm going to focus on that. For volunteering, I have hundreds of those. And I have been a clinical scribe and medical assistant until my doctor moved clinics. I was a tutor at college. I have a huge diversity and am also a peer mentor. I have good extracurricular activities, good lor, just need to focus on PS and DAT. So I'm really hoping I can get atleast in one of these schools

wow, you need to relax
you have 8 months before the cycle opens next year

Pretty sure his sGPA would be at least 3.8+ with a cGPA that high

I'm still worried from rejected from these schools. What do you think? Is it possible or what can I do?
Thank you all for replying

you have an excellent GPA, so you obviously are smart enough to do well on the DAT
worrying about it now is not constructive
nothing we can say will rid you of these negative thoughts
it has to come from within you...

 

[Studentofdeen]

When do the application cycles start? Or does differ by each school?
Thank you all so much for replying
