What are my chances? Where to apply?

[adgaby]

Hi Everyone,

Indiana resident

MCAT score of 507 - 129 C/P, 124 CARS, 127 B/B, 127 PSY

My GPA is 4.0 (with exception of an A- from a class sophomore year of high school)

2500+ paid clinical hours in ER

2 semesters, ~250 hours research

Spotty but existent community volunteering

My real question is where should I apply with a 124 CARS since the lowest 10th percent on MSAR for majority of med school is 124-125?

Thanks everyone for the help.

Thank you for your speedy reply @Faha
Just out of curiosity, from what criteria do you make your lists? For some of the schools listed, my 124 CARS doesn't fall within the 10th percentile for that section. Is it still worth applying?

Yes, apply to schools where your CARS is not within the 10th percentile. A 4.0 GPA is more important than your CARS sub score.
