I just received my MCAT back and scored a 29 (10VR, 9PS, 10BS) and have a 3.7 cgpa and 3.52 sgpa.

Other things about my application:
Community service: 300 hours
Medically related service (patient exposure): 250 hours
Research: 200 hours with poster presentation
Shadowing: 85 hours
Leadership: 3 experiences continued over the course of a few years
Division I athlete

Here are the schools I have applied to

MD:
Medical college of Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Rush
Saint Louis
Arizona - Tucson and Phoenix
University of Missouri - Kansas City
U of Utah
Western Michigan
University of Nevada

DO:
ATSU - Missouri and Arizona
DMU
Midwestern
Pacific Northwest
Rocky Vista
Tuoro - Nevada and California
Western University - Oregon and California


I would appreciate any comments about my chances and any schools I should add to my list. I am also wondering if it worth retaking the MCAT (I scored a 28 last year). I am a resident of Utah, and would like to stay as far west as possible (Hence not applying to schools on the east coast). Thanks in advance for your comments!

You should be fine for the DO schools. For MD you could add Loyola, Creighton, Oakland Beaumont. It is not worth retaking the MCAT at this point in the application cycle. Your MCAT is competitive for DO.

Goro suggests NOT retaking the MCAT...I think you've hit your ceiling, and a number of schools average MCAT scores.

My list:

Medical college of Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Rush
Saint Louis
U of Utah
Western Michigan
Creighton
Loma Linda (but read their list of don'ts)
Beggars can't be choosy, so if you want an MD, you need to consider:
Wake Forest
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Albany
Tufts
Quinnipiac
VCU
EVMS
TCMC

ATSU - Missouri and Arizona
DMU
Midwestern
Pacific Northwest
Rocky Vista
Tuoro - Nevada and California
Western University - Oregon and California
KCUMB
