Looks pretty good for both types of programs. Just make sure you apply broadly.

Chances excellent for low-tier MD schools, and all the new ones, and any DO program.

Awesome, thanks!

I should have mentioned I'm applying right now. I know its considered super late for MD schools, and getting late for DO schools... still a good shot for low-tier MDs with that in mind?

Also, I tried to look for a list of "low tier" MD schools to no avail... mind listing a few suggestions?

Are you verified already by AMCAS?

Yes, my AMCAS and ACCOMAS have been verified since August. I was just dismayed by my 25 MCAT in July so I didn't really apply to many schools until I just got my score back.

I'm scrambling to do a bunch of Supp Apps now, still need to apply to way more schools.

If you are going to try for this cycle, apply to OOS friendly schools where your stats are near the median. Start writing the secondary responses stat. It's really late for MD. We've given out almost all the interview invitations already.
