-E.C. involve Volunteering with Walks, Parks departments, Food Pantry/Soup Kitchen, and Blood centers to conduct blood drives. (Still volunteering with parks and pantry).

-MCAT score came back Feb 28th, applied to only D.O. and received interview inv from Touro, all other D.O.s had no interview seats to give. (if accepted will attend)

I would like to roll the dice for both MD and DO for this cycle, what are my chances? School List and recommendations to improve my application? Local senior college has masters in Biology or Biotech, would these help my app? Thank you for your time!

Chances best at:
Drexel (maybe)
Temple (maybe)
Albany
Nova MD
VCU
Wayne State (maybe)
Netter (maybe)
EVMS
Seton Hall
Rosy Franklin
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
Loyola
WVU
Rush
MCW
SLU
Creighton
Oakland-B
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Gtown
All SUNYs (SB might be out of the running)
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me.

@Goro Thank you I really appreciate it! This year is going to be spent working as an MA and still conducting research and volunteering. Is this good or do you think the masters in bio/biotech I mentioned would help?

Also, lets say I withdraw from any programs I was waitlisted for and want to reapply to them for this cycle, does it make me look bad/hurt my chances?

If you have no accepts, why withdraw when you're still on the waitlist? It's OK to withdraw from a school interviewed at and hated, but why then reapply to them???

Your 2x MCAT history with a second score that is still 4 basis points below the median for MD is the issue for MD schools. Your JR and SR years slavage your GPAs.
