GPA: 4.0
MCAT: 510
CH/PHYS: 125
CARS: 128
BIO: 130
PSYCH/SOC: 127

I have solid extracurriculars, including shadowing experience and working abroad as a first-responder. Just concerned that most of the schools I want to apply to will see my low CH/PHYS score and weed me out. Listed the schools below.

You should add Eastern Virginia, Virginia Tech and U Virginia to your list.

Thank you for your input! Do you think it is worth applying to U Virginia considering my low MCAT score compared to their median scores (based off their website and MSAR).

I have a feeling UVA is a reach...at their school visit day, the Admissions Dean hinted very much at the fact that they tend to II in-staters with at least a 33-34 or 514 score. For OOS, they expect 517 I believe. 510 isn't a bad score, but that C/P is low and could keep you out from UVA.

U Virginia is a reach but your chances are better there than at UNC, Maryland, South Carolina and UCLA since the latter schools accept very few non residents with your MCAT.

You should remove Brown and UNC. Those would be donations.
