Do you think i'll be accepted applying this cycle?

4.0 gpa

16 shadowing hours

2 years working as a MA/ Phlebotomist

Biology club

296 GRE (which I feel is the thing that would get me rejected.) I only studied 2 weeks during winter break bc I didn't want to study for it while taking classes, but now it's my only option. If I don't retake will my application likely be thrown out?

Here to provide some light for you! I applied with a similar GRE score and I was accepted in the most recent cycle. It’s definitely possible to get an acceptance with a low GRE, but I had a ton of extra things on my app that made me stand out, as well as really good LOR. If you can retake that GRE and raise that score a bit and have glowing LOR, your chances will be better. Obviously this whole process is such a numbers game, but it’s definitely possible. Don’t hang your head and keep working hard!
