What are my chances

[gambit034]

3.53 cGPA
3.49 sGPA
TX resident
URM
300 hours shadowing (200 private practice, 100 shadowing different specialties at a hospital)
Worked between 28-40 hours per week during my last two years at undergrad as manager of a local snack shop.
Because of work and school, not much time for EC's, although I spent a lot of my free time helping out my elderly family members, writing/recording music.

I had about a 3.2 cGPA during my first two years and had with a 3.87 my last two years, and explained in my PS the cause for the change. Very bad first grades, lots of C's, but since then Only A's and 2-3 B's.

507 MCAT (125/126/128/128)

First generation to graduate with a bachelors.

I only applied in state, to all TX schools. My first choice would be McGovern, second would be San Antonio.

Should probably add that I submitted my TMDSAS application last month, and judging by the updates on their twitter it's looking to get processed by the end of next week at the latest.

Which URM group do you belong to? If Hispanic are you fluent in Spanish?

 

[gambit034]

Hispanic/Latino, not 100% fluent but i can understand everything completely and hold basic conversation. I'm working at keeping conversation going, and hope to be fluent by this time next year.

You should receive several interviews from your Texas schools.

I think you have a very good shot at one of your Tx schools! Good luck OP.
