you look… meh. That ACT will put you in the lower portion of applicants…the research is good tho. If you could get your research mentor to write you a rec, that would be valuable. You shoud also try and find a shadowing opportunity, as that is expected of applicants. If you write insanely good essays, you could have a chance at interviewing. Apply wide! If healthcare is your goal, try applying to other bsmds too!
