Your stats make you unlikely for the TMDSAS schools that everyone wants like UTSW and Baylor, so swallow your pride and apply to all the TMDSAS schools. You have left out several which are more forgiving with MCAT scoresHello I am waiting for interviews and I'm wondering if I should consider adding other schools to my list while I still have time.

Are there any schools other schools I should look into? I would really value your thoughts @Faha , @Mr.Smile12 , and @Goro
Yes, it is. I submitted primaries to all TMDSAS schools. I will complete secondaries for the remaining ones!Your stats make you unlikely for the TMDSAS schools that everyone wants like UTSW and Baylor, so swallow your pride and apply to all the TMDSAS schools.

Is this your first application cycle?
