TheLastStone Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'm no expert but it seems pretty decent, IMO. Your GPA is a little lower than some, and some might be curious about your PCEs a little but it seems to fit pretty well. Good shadowing/volunteering.. I'd say go for it! Check out this link Make sure to read the stats on chances by how many schools you apply to, as well. Oh, and make sure to get your LOR's. I've heard it looks better if you DON'T choose to look at them, so take that how you will. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocc54 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd say you have a 50/50 chance, but I am no expert. If you do not get in this round keep racking up PCE. You will be much more competitive next year if you get more hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAs12017 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I had similar stats as you and got 7/12 interviews last cycle. The only school in your list I applied to is Baylor and I did get an interview there fwiw. It's really dependent on the school and what they're looking for.

I got a rejection from Rutgers within 2 days of sending my app because my "LOR weren't long enough." They wanted 2 pages per letter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had like 800 PCE and 100 shadowing I think... dunno how long my LOR were because didn't read them, but that is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
