I'm trying to decide if it's too late to apply and if what my chances are in regards to the schools that I have in mind.

Background:

cGPA: 3.71
sGPA: 3.49
MCAT: 25 - 8/8/9 (P/V/B)

ECs:
~40 hrs of shadowing
400+ hrs of paid clinical experience
450+ hrs of volunteer experience (in a variety of settings)
40+ hrs of research (still working on it)
I have several semesters of experience working as a biology tutor up at school as well.

Awards:
Academic Scholarships for several semesters (full and half tuition)
I'm also an Eagle Scout if that counts for anything


So I guess my questions is concerning whether or not it is worth applying to these schools this late in the game.

1. Western University of Health Science (WesternU/COMP)
2. Arizona Midwestern (AZCOM)
3. Des Moines (DMU-COM)
4. A.T. Still (ATSU-SOMA)
5. Lake Erie (LECOM)
6. Touro University of Nevada (TUNCOM)
7. Rocky Vista University COM (RVUCOM)
8. Pacific Northwest University (PNWU-COM)


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
I would say your stats and ECs are pretty good, since your GPA at least somewhat makes up for a slightly lower MCAT. I wouldn't say its too late to apply, but you may want to revise your list of schools and look at schools which just started their interview processes. I know that a lot of those schools have already invited a lot of interviewees and given acceptances, like LECOM, which will make it harder in terms of competitiveness.

Also if you aren't from the region I would drop RVUCOM
 
Western and DMU are an uphill battle with a 25. The rest are realistic.
