Race, sex, college choice and situation doesn’t matter. What matters are GPA, MCAT, LOR, volunteering and interviews. You have a lot of work ahead of you if you want to make your dreams come true. Your GPA is worrisome because that is effort dependent unless you have learning difficulties. SAT and ACT, despite what you read on CC, is much less of an issue. Your SAT score is miles further than what I scored. But to be brutally honest, your GPA in college need to be a good 3.5+ and preferably 3.75 to be in contention.

Use your guidance counselor to the fullest. She might not be nice, but neither are circulating nurses when you are a medical student. CC is replete with valuable information on this topic. Do an in-depth search. Good luck.
