Thanks for taking the time to read this, DO is my backup and I would really like to go the allopathic route. What do you think are my chances?

Add stony brook. Your MCAT makes you slightly desirable there.

I did apply to Stony, I forgot to add it. Thanks though.
ah, wasn't sure if you did; you had the other 3 sunys, sometimes students avoid stony due to its higher MCAT+GPA requirements, figure'd I'd encourage a fellow new-yawker to apply!

Thanks, do you think that any of the schools that I applied to are unrealistic? Also, I also applied to Cincinnati.
 
All your other schools are reasonable but Wright State and Cincinnati give preference to Ohio residents and accept few non residents with your GPA.
