You're fine for many med schools with that GPA, really, come back when you have your MCAT score. U MD is hard for OOS to get into, period, as is UCSD. I suggest other schools than U Louisville.

Obviously, your best chances are with ALL FL schools.
 
Do you have any other suggestions for OOS schools?
