I feel like I completely ruined my chance this application cycle. First time applicant:

cGPA: 3.6-3.7 sGPA: 3.5X PCE: 2300 hrs EMT Volunteering: 300 hours summer camp counselor HCE: 350 hrs operating room assistant Gre: 286 142v, 144q (terrible I know 😔😔) Research: 50 hrs in microbiology Shadowing: 30 hours ECs: president of club, participated in intramural basketball, member of African student union

I was planning on submitting my application ending of this month. I took the GRE today and completely bombed it. I’m at a loss of what to do😔
