If you have a well-rounded application, then apply mainly to DO schools.

Your chances at MD are less than 40% based on All Applicants.

You're below the 10th percentile for VR at Hawaii, but that's probably your best bet for MD

Do you think there's any chance that you could get your VR up a little more? If so, I'd say retake it.

But like sector 9 said, your best bet will be Hawaii. They interview almost everyone who applies (~150/200) and the IS acceptance rate is high.

Just make sure you nail the interview!
