Currently a undergrad senior right now. Will be applying this coming summer to DO and MD schools.
Assuming by the time I apply I will have a 3.57 cgpa and 3.47 sgpa with a 26 MCAT (hopefully it'll be higher) with the following ECs:
-1 year of volunteering at Children's hospital
-1 year of volunteering at a free clinic, filling prescriptions and educating patients about their diseases, and participating in health screenings.
-Also volunteered around various sites in my city for 2 years.
- Held a leadership position (service chair) for 1 year for my fraternity with a chapter size of 30+ individuals. Organized and executed service/philanthropy events with chapter and various organizations.
-also had various leadership experiences within my place of worship.
- around 60-70 hours of shadowing in family med, internal med, nephrology, physical medicine, and cardiology. (Both MDs and DOs shadowed).
-1.5 years of research in phage genomics. Also obtained a research grant from my college.

Considering my academic and EC stats, what are my chances at top DO schools? Considering applying to:
CCOM, LECOM-Bradenton, Touro-NY, DMU, ACOM, VCOM, AZCOM.

CCOM, AZCOM and Touro-NY might be iffy with the 26 MCAT. CCOM's average MCAT for 2013 was 29, AZCOM supposedly isn't interviewing anyone below a 29 or something like that, and Touro-NY has an MCAT average north of 30.

Those are kind of ridiculous averages as far as MCAT scores go. But I guess such is life. Thanks for the reply.
