Yay or Nay to the following Schools....

[mpcolon]

Please let me know your opinion on which schools I have a chance at....

I have a B.S. in biology, (GPA 3.113 cumulative, x=or<3.0 science)
M.S. Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology (GPA 3.5)
M.S. Molecular and Cellular Genetics (GPA 3.72)
PhD Molecular and Cellular Genetics (GPA 3.74)
MCAT 2009-22, 2013-30

I'm 26 years old, graduated undergrad in 3 years, finished my first M.S. in 1 year, completed in my PhD and M.S. in 4 years.

EC includes working a full time job all throughout school. I have no parents, I'm Hispanic, and I was poor from the Bronx.

2 publications and 2 more on the way (scientific journals). I received all As in non-science courses (lol ironic huh?) and then, something sparked in my last year of undergrad and I began to really understand science. Received As in every science course including Orgo 1, 2, Physics 1, 2, and Molecular Biology. The first 2 years I didn't because I worked and couldn't study much...

Anyway, please rank chances of getting an interview at each school....

Your chances for an interview are somewhat difficult to determine since you have somewhat of a unique background and application. If you had applied in 2009 with your 22 MCAT and 3.1 GPA you would not have been accepted at any MD school and would have been fortunate to have 1 DO school acceptance. Your credentials are much improved with your MS and PhD degrees and a MCAT of 30. Most schools will ignore your 2009 MCAT- it is too old. So you have a 30 MCAT, a poor undergraduate GPA and good graduate school grades. You are also an URM from a poor background. I think you have a good chance for an interview at your 4 state school and Howard. Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Albert Einstein, NYU are all reaches and unlikely. Albany, Rochester and Georgetown are possible.
I would recommend that you apply to many more schools and do it THIS WEEK and submit the secondaries before Labor Day. Schools you should consider adding to your list would be:
New York Medical College
Hofstra
Quinnipiac
George Washington
Oakland
St. Louis
Loyola
Creighton
Your MCAT is within the range that these schools accept and they may overlook your below average undergraduate GPA and focus on your more recent graduate school accomplishments.
Also consider adding DO schools in your area such as Touro and NYIT.

Keep a few of the reaches (2-3) - you never know what might happen. You have a unique story, so some of those reaches may bite on that.
