Apply to all your Texas schools and you should receive interviews. Also apply to at least 8 DO schools and include TCOM and UIWSOM.

Wow, this is awesome! My advisor had told me to stay clear of MD and DO, since I would be screened immediately due to my lower GPA’s and subpar MCAT. It’s nice to hear that there’s hope!

I advise you to take another year and increase your clinical volunteer hours to 250+, your nonclinical volunteering hours to 150+ if you are shooting for higher tier TMDSAS MDs. And do some DIY PB science courses to increase those GPAs.

TX loves high GPAs; your advisor is correct that your GPAs are below the preferred. Your MCAT is fine.
