So I finally took my MCAT and I raised my MD GPA from a 3.2 to a 3.4. My last two semesters were 4.0's (15 and 17 credits) and my summer GPA was a 3.86 (Exercise Physiology - A, Individual Investigation -A, Ochem Lab II -B).

MD cGPA: 3.42
MD sGPA: 3.50
DO cGPA: 3.56

So basically, did I apply to the right MD schools? And the right DO schools? Any DO schools I should remove or add?

MD:
Add NYMC (low stats)
Add Tulane (low stats)
DO:
Remove MSU (in-state preference/HIGH OOS tuition)
Remove Western (regional bias)

You look like a average candidate for competitive DO schools.
Your below average for MD but I think you got a shot. (Are your a URM?)
Best of luck!

Ah, thanks for catching those two DO schools.

No, I am not URM. I'm from Eastern Europe but I don't think that qualifies or makes a difference. I do have my US citizenship.

Edit: Should I bother with MD schools such as Chicagon, Scranton, Creighton, and Wisconsin? Their lowest MCAT was 25-27, but their lowest GPA was 3.26-3.48. Not sure whether my in-state schools will give me a better chance than these OOS private ones.
