505 MCAT, 3.68, California grad, good ECs

What schools are you applying to?

GPA is good, but the 505 MCAT as an applicant from California is damaging. School list will matter a lot here. I'd also think about DO schools or a retake.

Haven't made a solid list yet but I'm not aiming for high tier schools. Mid to low at this point

I've been doing some research for schools but I'm still uncertain

Get the MSAR. You'll get the $20-$30 back if it stops you from applying to even just one school.

If you don't want to retake you'll have to look at mostly low-tier schools, which unfortunately also tend to be low yield. Focus (but dont dwell) on 10th percentile MCATs scores. Your GPA won't hold you back at schools. Avoid public state schools with IS bias and schools whose missions you don't fit.

Since you're from California, as a heads up, most people here wouldn't recommend Northstate.
