Hello everyone! I swear this will be my last wamc post, but I need to know if I should retake the MCAT. I just got my MCAT score and to my disappointment scored a 27- 8,9,10 (31 AAMC average). I have no preference for MD or DO other than the fact that MD has better residency choices. Do I have any shot at MD? Here are my credentials and school list. Thanks! I just got my mcat scheduled for August 16, but will retract it if people think I have a shot SOMEWHERE.
Also, my AMCAS is already verified and ready to send out.

Credentials:
double major exercise science/biology
cGPA-3.74
sGPA-3.7something (not verified yet but submitted on first day at 10 am) (3.81 AACOMAS)
- extreme upward trend (past 2 years 4.0 first year 2.95)

AMCAS activities
-400 hour cardiac rehab internship including 50 hours surgery observation *most meaning
-65 hours physician shadowing (ENT, neurosurgeon, radiologist, cardiologist)
-1.5 years SI leader and peer tutor (probably between 400 and 500 hours) *most meaning
-20 hour athletic training inservice (non paid)
-20 hours family mission volunteer
-2 years intramural flag and arena football captain, 1 semester indoor soccer
-creator of pre-physical therapist society and served as secretary/treasurer 1 semester (used to be on that track)
- other clinical shadowing (40 hours pt, 3 hours hem/onc, 3 hours pulmonary rehab)
-Owned my own business through AMWAY for one year
- 5.5 years working in the restaurant industry and 1.5 in a farm market
-Musician (trumpet 10 years, church choir 10 years, french horn 1 year, bass 2 years, melophone, tuba, baritone 2 years)
- Fitness- hobby/EC *most meaning
- Fitness assessment/exercise prescription 30 hours
-Deans list every semester since freshman year, and 2 different scholarships
- research (just started, so very minimal, but I wanted to show that I'm getting into it, and honestly I didnt think Id enjoy it as much as I did or I probably would have started a lot sooner)

Anyways, here is a potential school list. I know there are probably close to 10 reaches or more, but I dont want to leave any regrets on the table. Ill also have to fine tune depending on my mcat as I said before, but I just want some people to check my list and let me know of schools that are either 1 WAY out of my reach (0-5% chance of interview) or have a suggestion about the schools I have posted. Also, if you know the school does not grant IS tuition after 1 year or have like 0 OOS admissions, it'd be appreciated.If you know of any more suitable "reaches" let me know, because those are going to be the ones affected by my mcat score.
