It is your GPA that will limit your chances for MD schools, not your MCAT. You could receive interviews at a few MD schools including:
California University (new school)
California Northstate
Loma Linda
Seton Hall
NOVA MD
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Oakland Beaumont
Rosalind Franklin
George Washington
You should concentrate on a DO application and apply to at least 10 DO schools.
