Please give me your honest opinion on whether or not I have a shot at a US MD school...

Residency: Illinois

Undergrad:
2.8 GPA

MCAT 28Q

Masters:
4.0 GPA (hopefully graduate summa cum laude)
(Mississippi College Masters in Medical Sciences, 1 of 4 students out of 104 students total to graduate program with 4.0 while taking the maximum courseload... courses meant to mimic medical school level, our dean/ one of our professors is adjunct gross anatomy professor at univ of mississippi medical school, another professor is US MD with degree from u of mississippi medical school.. i took neuroanatomy, gross anatomy, histology, medical physiology, pharmacology, and presentation seminar)

**I'm only telling you about my professors so you know how legit the program is, and the strength of my LOR's... I cannot apply to UMiss for medical school because they only take instate residents

LOR's:
4 very strong letters (2 Ph.D's and 2 M.D.s)
1 strong letter (non science course)
