Please specify your state of residence. It really can make a difference as a Black/URM applicant.

What have mentors told you? Have they encouraged you to apply? You have a good shot on metrics but it will completely depend on mission fit to me.

I'm sorry about that. I'm in Georgia. I have not asked anyone yet since I just got my MCAT back.
