Your MCAT score will be a major factor. If you score greater than 500 you should receive some DO interviews from the schools on your list. For MD schools you will need at least 510 and preferably 515 or higher.
 
You might have the same app as me. Rough start to college with a strong finish. MD is essentially off the table without a 515 or higher with that sGPA. Even then it's iffy. With a 505+ you have a good chance at all DO schools. (Realistically 500+ for DO is good enough but ideally 505+ to be sure)

Should I bother applying to a SMP or Post-Bac Program? Or put all my efforts into my AMCAS and ACCOMAS applications?
