What are my chances?

I want to major in biology ( to essentially go to med school). I am currently a senior and my weighted gap is a 3.6 and unweighted is prob a 3.5. My sat 1600 scale is a 1300 something. (which I plan on taking again in OCT) . I have already started on my college essays and plan to get it proof read as much as possible. I plan to apply soon after the application opens. I am in the top 20-30%. I have NO extra curr and volunteer because my mom is a single mother without a car or job and cannot afford/ i don’t have the transportation to do those things. 3.5 gpa freshman year, 3.1 gpa soph, & 4.3 gpa junior year. ADDITIONAL INFO: female, african american, in state. Track freshman-Junior year ( I quit junior year because I had no transportation) ALSO: I can get auto admitted to UT dallas and I’m thinking of transferring as a secondary route.

UT will take your financial status into account regarding the ECs. What do you do with your time? Do you care for siblings? Do you work? You need to play up what you do rather than what you don’t do.

You need a plan B since you are not an auto admit.

If your mom is not working, do you have a plan for how you will pay for school? You can only borrow so much without her co-signing. I am not aware of any state school in Texas that meets full financial need. You need to run the Net Price Calculators for various schools and visit the financial aid forum to find financial safeties.
