Guys, I heard you were among the best in creating school lists. This is gonna be my first time applying and my biggest dream is just getting into my state MD school, do you think I can cut it? And what other schools should I consider? I'd really like to go MD if possible

Which Hispanic community are you from ? Are you fluent is Spanish ?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Did you grow up in Oklahoma, or did you spend any time in childhood living in Texas?

What is your year-by-year GPA if you are saying you had an upward trend?

Have you connected with LMSA or SNMA officers at schools on your wishlist?

Any non-tutoring community service since graduating (post-APO)? Food banks, shelter work, job training/development?

Grown up in Oklahoma all the way through!

for undergrad upward trend it was 3.21 ->3.29-.3.47->3.81

to be very honest, I had no idea what LMSA or SNMA officers were until I just looked them up, and now I definitely plan to thank you

Besides APO, and my current clinical volunteering, I don't have anymore hours which I have to beef up asap. I was interested in youth programs or the local equality center where I live...
