I just got my MCAT back, and I’m really disappointed in my performance. Given the imbalance in my experiences compared to MCAT and GPA alone, I can’t gauge where to apply. I worked so hard switching majors to be here! Any input would be wonderful!

Hi guys! I'm a rising junior and I've been looking at a few (around 15-20 or so) MD and DO schools and the more I look at them the more I'm doubting that I'll have credentials by senior year to apply to Med school. Below are my stats:

I have a 499 MCAT score and a 3.92 GPA. I took the MCAT in June and was averaging better than how I scored... but alas. i'm a PA resident, do I have any shot at MD schools anywhere? do you think most DO schools would interview? trying most for PCOM, but also don't know what to make of my school...
