Does your cGPA and sGPA include your post bac credits? Or was that just undergrad

I suggest these schools with your stats (assuming your cGPA and sGPA are slightly under 3.0):
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
UIWSOM
ATSU (both schools)
KCU-COM
AZCOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
ARCOM
NYIT (both schools)
TUNCOM
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
MU-COM
BCOM
ICOM
LUCOM
LMU-DCOM
Your low GPA will limit your chances for interviews but your MCAT of 508 and good ECs and veteran status will help.
For MD schools you could try Florida State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International and Central Florida

thank you for the list, and i greatly appreciate your input! Now based on your recommendations would that mean i should exclude schools from my list like CCOM and touro?

Also I was hoping to get some more advice if you would be willing.

doing the math, if I took an additional 24 credit hours i should be able to push my cGPA above a 3.0 and that would make my post bacc gpa into a 3.73. What would you think my prospects would be at that point, especially if i continued volunteering?

You could try CCOM and Touro-NY but they are more competitive than the other schools I listed. If your post bacc increases your GPA to 3.0 you would be less likely to be screened out at some schools.

Sorry to raise this post from the dead but I had one quick question.

PCOM-PA is my number one choice but today I discovered this comment on their premed guide, "have at least a 500 composite MCAT score with at least a 125 on each section to be competitive."

Issue is my MCAT breakdown is as follows 123/128/126/131. Should I still even try applying to PCOM due to my 123 in C/P?

You can try that school.
