Your chances are not good at all for MD. Maybe you'll get lucky with a state school, but don't get your hopes up.

You're competitive for a fair share of DO programs, however. Apply to ~15 DO schools and you have a solid shot at several interviews.

Are there certain DO programs you'd recommend? Not having a LOR from a DO seems to really be limiting my choices. Additionally, you don't think it's too late to add DO schools to my AACOMAS this cycle? I know the DO process runs a little longer but keep getting mixed advice on here about how late it is now.
