Hello everyone, just got my MCAT score back so I wanted to see what you all thought about my list/chances. I am aiming for MD only at this stage in the game. I realize my scores are all sort of on the lower cusp of MD but I'm hoping if I apply early and broadly I'll have a shot. What do you think?

I count 10-11 schools where you have a fair to good chance at an interview.
With a well-written application and good interviews, I'd give you better than even odds.

UVM is your best chance since UVM matriculates more students than there are Vermont resident applicants each year. Of course not all Vermont residents are admitted but it is a good state to be a resident of. Other schools you could consider are Commonwealth (PA), Oakland Beaumont, Western Michigan and any new private schools that open in 2016.

Thank you for the suggestions/advice! Are there any other schools people think I should remove or add to my list?
