Would it be unwise to apply to any MD schools. Are there any you think I could possibly have a chance at? Also was curious why you didn’t recommend Touro CA. Thank you again for your help with this! @Faha @Goro

You can apply to Touro CA but it is a competitive school and your GPA is low for that school. The GPA-MCAT grid shows that applicants with your stats have less than a 30% chance for a MD acceptance. As a CA resident it would be lower than that.
