Where to Apply?! I'm so lost :/

[loganas2]

I'm ONLY interested in DO schools, and here are my stats:
cGPA: 3.29
sGPA: 3.2
MCAT: 26 (PS-7, VR-10, BS-9)
>2000 volunteer hrs
>1000 patient contact hours as a Medical Assistant
I know my academics suck but my extracurriculars and leadership experience are crazy awesome, and I interview like a boss. I'm also a Hispanic female if that makes any difference.
All I want is to go somewhere with a friendly/cooperative atmosphere that's not in middle of nowhere. Any suggestions? I could really use your help. Thank you so much!

Apply early. Otherwise, SMP and an MCAT retake.

Your extracurriculars will not make up for your academics, especially that 7. Retake the MCAT, especially if you aren't a URM. Unless you score significantly higher, you are probably looking at DO schools. Depending on your definition of "nowhere," you may have to make some concessions.

With your numbers, your chances of MD acceptance are ~20%. So you will likely have to retake MCAT. Even if you are URM, your chances are low.

The problem is that you will be screened at many MD schools with that 7 in PS, and such a low GPA.

The chances drop down to 10-11% if OP is white.

Focus on DO schools and make a plan for increasing that MCAT score.
