URM with so-so GPA/good MCAT. Wondering whether to apply out-of-state?

Hey everyone, I’m a Texas resident and was planning on applying solely to all TMDSAS schools but now having thoughts about whether applying to some upper tier out of state schools would be worth my luck. Black/AA male btw. My TMDSAS GPA would be a bit higher than for AMCAS due to no +/- grading on the Texas app. All shown below.

Stats are:
TMDSAS cGPA/sGPA: 3.64/3.55
AMCAS cGPA/sGPA: 3.61/3.48
MCAT: 515 (129/129/129/128)

Research – 1.5 yrs in Cardiology lab at UTSW. Publishes frequently (2...

Hi,

Thank you for your time in advance. I’ve been working to put together a school list, but it has been a bit of a struggle. I have been advised mostly to apply broadly to MD schools, though I do not feel confident with that approach. The only other relevant background information is that I had taken 4 years of classes, had awful grades, then took a year away from college. I then returned to college and took two additional years of classes (53 credits) and received an A in each class that...

Hey all, I’ve been watching the forums here for some time but this is my first time posting. I’d be super grateful for any input!

GPA/sGPA: 3.4/3.2
My first and fifth years are 3.8’s but there was a steady decline from sophomore year until it bottomed out in Fall of my first senior year at a 2.5. It shot up immediately afterwards for the remaining 3-4 semesters, though. During those semesters of decline I switched from a Nonprofit Administration major (no science) to a Molec Bio...

Hey guys!
Here's the gist: I did really crappy during 2 semesters of my undergrad. I want to know what my chances are getting into a med school involving this. Here's the breakdown:

*Freshmen Semester 1: I attended Nursing courses; I got 2 B's, 1 C, and the rest were A's.
*Freshmen Semester 2: I got straight A's because I decided to take gen ed classes while I transferred from nursing to biochem.
*Freshmen/Sophomore Summer: I took gen chem 1 and intro to bio. I got an A...

Hi Everyone

I've applied to 20+ medical schools for the 2 cycles with no luck (only 2 interviews)

I think I have strong stats... couldn't figure out why I was not even getting interview invites

I am reapplying one last time this cycle, since my MCAT score is expiring and I don't want to waste more money on applying... I hope some of you with more experience may point me to how I should improve my application.

I have a MCAT score of 34 and GPA 3.96 (science GPA 4.00)

Hello, so I have a 3.82 cGPA, 3.65sGPA, 506 MCAT. I need help knowing which MD schools and and which DO schools would be my best fit. I think I qualify for Idaho and Utah residency so not a ton of help in that regard. I worked for a year as a CNA and I've been doing research now for 2 years and in two weeks I'm going to a conference to present an abstract on which I am the first author. I'm not picky on region, I would love to go anywhere. If you have any suggestions please let me know!!
