First off, many thanks for your service to our country. Your numbers are fine for any DO program, but very weak for MD. BUT, Adcoms have a soft spot for veterans, and so I think you might have some good luck at 3/4 VA MD schools (I'd skip U VA), and throw in U WV as well.

Thanks goro for the feedback! I think I will apply broadly and hope for the best.

Would it be worth applying to any private schools outside of VA? and if so any suggestions?
