I am a Texas resident applying only to Texas schools. I have a 501 MCAT but a 3.96 GPA from the University of Houston. I have five very, very strong letters of recommendation. I have very meaningful non-clinical and clinical extracurriculars and three research experiences. I am an executive of a non-profit organization that targets health inequities in low-income, underprivileged communities. I am also not planning on retaking this cycle but may consider it if I get radio silence by December or mid-January. Will my insanely low MCAT overshadow all the good I have for everything else? My writing is also excellent I had everything edited and had qualified people looking at everything I have submitted. What are my chances?

Why do you insist on applying if you admit your MCAT is "insanely low"? Perhaps TMDSAS, but you are probably in-bounds for state DO programs. The thought running through my head is why "this applicant" is applying even though the MCAT is much lower than desired? This can be easily corrected with a very strong retake.
