Guest hcruz496 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi, I'm new to the forum. I sent out applications to 16 schools last week, perhaps a bit late to the game. I am so nervous about all of this. I am wondering what others think my chances are of getting in. Here are my stats: Education: BS Biology, minor in chemistry. U. of Houston, Magna Cum Laude cGPA:3.81 sGPA: 3.77 PCE: 20,000+ hours as a radiology tech/bone density tech/medical assistant in outpatient imaging, family practices and urgent cares shadowing: 120 hours with a PA at an urgent care volunteer: 72 hours which includes tutoring Ochem, volunteering at clinic for uninsured, volunteering for literacy program GRE: 157 verbal, 153 quantitive, 4.5 analytical I feel like my GRE is just average and I could have done more volunteer stuff, I am hoping my GPA and PCE will carry me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hcruz496 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I hope so. If I don't get in this cycle I may retake the GRE. I just did self study and wasn't all that disciplined in preparing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panglossian Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You got this! You worked hard and put in your best effort! Your applications are in the hands of admissions so there's not much else you can do. Focus on enjoying the present and try not to worry too much about the future.

mmchick Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You'll be just fine. You're at the high end of GPA and PCE. That's all you typically need for an interview invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjwbell Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Humble brag much. I'd be surprised if any schools rejected you (assuming good interviews). Sent from my HTC One A9 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastStone Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You'll be just fine. Your GPA is great, PCE is great, your GRE won't stop you, as 300 seems to be a benchmark for most schools. You have shadowed a decent amount, as well as volunteered some. Schools tend to look at you holistically, so people that may have some weakness in some area and shine in others aren't shied away. You seem to pass any screen that any school would put up. The only way I don't see you making it in is if something catastrophic during the interview process happened. Not that you need it, but good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
