Thank you for your time.

Nice research.

Besides being in [neighboring] Ohio, do you have any connections to the state of WV?
Since you have WVU on there, why not Marshall? (it has a little bit lower matriculant stats)

Hi,

The GPA is kinda on the low side, and you MCAT is below average. I think MD may be tough. You would need at least a 30 MCAT to be competitive.

Thank you for your time.

While your ECs are nice enough that they might help some MD schools overlook your lower stats (hopefully, at least the two less selective MD schools in your state), it might be a good idea to add your in-state DO school to your application list as well.
