Thank you for help!!

Your 126 biochem may hurt just a little, but I say you have a fighting shot, especially as a fellow FL applicant. Any consistent work with the underserved? I'd recommend that if you have time to this year. Do you have strongggg connections to South Carolina? if not, those would simply be donations to those schools. I'd look at MSAR and filter to private schools, and add a few that are around your mcat/gpa. Good luck ~

Oh I go to the University of South Carolina now which the schools here consider strong ties. And yes, I have worked in a free medical clinic with patients who have limited access to health care for about a year and a half now and done some Remote Area Medical Clinics volunteering.

Thank you for the input!!
