Hi everyone, as I will be applying in the next cycle. I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on my chances at MD schools. My main goal is to stay in-state, and I don't want to take more than 1 gap year or a post-bacc school.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, and I truly appreciate all your help!
