What are my chances for MD and DO?

Chances for DO are very good assuming some decent shadowing hours and a resulting LOR (I consider decent to be about 50 hours, and should include a primary care doc).

Historical chances for MD with your cGPA and various MCAT outcomes can be found here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...e-who-applied-with-your-cgpa-and-mcat.888650/

Keep building your active clinical experience hours. The mentoring/tutor/TAing and research look good. Keep your GPA high next term and keep improving your numbers.
