Hi everyone,

I consider my stats to be far far FAR below average, but I decided to at least give myself a chance and apply this year. Here are my stats (please don't laugh):
GPA ~3.3
MCAT (27O): VR 7, PS 9, BS 11
EC: Some volunteering work, several health organizations

My letters of rec should come out to be average to above average, and I've gotten a lot of help with my personal statement.

Anyway, I need to pick out a list of MD schools to apply to, and right now I just have all the Texas schools. I will also be applying to DO schools. As for out of state schools, I want to ask which ones will I have the best chance of grabbing an interview? I want to have at least 10 more schools that are out of state. So if you will please recommend some "easy," less competitive schools to apply to? I know my chances are very slim, so you don't have to make fun of that... 🙁

Good list of medical schools and peep the requirements of whichever schools interest you. You might have to go one by one. Good luck!

PS. Your stats are going to be a little below most schools, but that doesn't mean you are disqualified. Remember they are averages; there are individuals below and above the mean.
