Realized I didn't post on the actual WAMC thread and can't delete my other post, sorry for any inconvenience 😅
Traditional Texas applicant. School list is currently all texas schools except UTRGV, Sam Houston, UIW, and UT Tyler. I'm looking for any OOS MD schools that are worth applying to as well , I have minimal ties to Michigan and NC if that's any help.

stats: trad applicant, 4.0 GPA as of now but might end up with like a ~3.95, ORM
510 (125/129/126/130) very worried about my lower science section scores
A lot of my app revolves around helping a specific population

Clinical:

• 500 hours MA
• 300 hours scribe
• 200 hours free clinic volunteering
• 150 hours free health screening volunteering

Research

• 300 hours lab at my school, 1 mid author pub, an abstract, and 2 posters
• 200 hours REU w same lab
• 150 hours with another lab at my school, 2 posters, no pubs
• 100 hours clinical research w local clinic, poster that was presented at national conference

Leadership:

• TA for class for two semesters
• Intern lead free clinic
• President/founder of pre health club
• VP/co founder of advocacy club
• Academic mentor

Non clinical volunteering

• 200 hours volunteer tutoring
• 100 hours food pantry
• 100 hours church volunteering
• 100 hours helping organize events for nonprofit

Shadowing

• 75 hours surgical subspecialty
• 30 hours primary care
• 30 hours peds

Random

• 75 hours art hobby

LORS

• committee letter

Awards

• NIH funded REU stipend (is this okay to put under awards lol?)
• full ride scholarship to undergrad
• Deans list
• Presidents list (diff things at my school, feel like listing both is redundant so lmk)
• Scholarship from non profit
• Research presentation award

In an ideal world I would retake my MCAT but due to my classes this semester and wanting to apply early I don't think it's possible to do it in time for this cycle. I'm going to apply and if I'm not accepted I will retake, since I'd have to wait a year anyways. I'd appreciate any advice!

I removed your duplicate post for you
Median MCAT for IS matriculants in TX is 511.4 so you are in range.
Realize that as a med student and doctor you will be serving a wide range of patients and not just your “specific population”

Yeah for sure! I just mentioned it because it ties into my "narrative" around my application that I mentioned in my PS. Do you have any OOS MD schools you think are worth applying to considering my stats?
