Very bad GPA which I cant change, Texas schools. Answered
As a hopeful premed, I'd like to say I have pretty decent ECs and college essay, OK rec letters, 1490 sat score, 12 APs.
However, I have a 3.4 unweighted out of 4, and 4.2 out of 6 weighted gpa. I have like 3 D's on my report card
I'm still gonna apply to the major schools like UT Austin, Texas A&M College station, UT Dallas, etc. I just want to know how badly my gpa would affect my acceptances generally. I kinda gave up on UT Austin because they care A LOT about GPA, but ive seen some miracle acceptances on tiktok, But i kinda don't have much hope for that.
My goal right now is Texas A&M college station, because they do holistic reviews and have a higher acceptance rate compared to UT, but in general how badly would I be impacted, I need honest opinions and advice 🙏🙏🙏

You most likely will get in, I would look at different websites and the reviews and how truly hostile they are. niche helps and collegeboard helps as well. knowing your SAT is really well and spot on, that will carry your growth out. I would try and branch out more so that ur college rec is better then an "Ok". most colleges go for weighted GPA as well, for my school they take weighted rather than weighted so check with the college and see what the accept . your essay will also carry you so make sure its impactful and raw to yourself
You will get into A&M
