Chances of getting accepted?

[Fishy fish]

Hello,

I'm applying to medical schools (MD and DO) this cycle and wanted to get your opinions on whether or not I have a good shot...

I have a 509 MCAT (127/124/127/131)...yes CARS isn't great...
~3.96 GPA with 3.89 science GPA
Nontraditional with a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, GPA of 4.00
About 2100 research hours; 340 hours scribing; 90 hours shadowing
Won't go into too much detail but i also have some clinical experience in Psychology (about 2000 hours) and about 200 hours volunteering (medical and non-medical)

I'm planning on applying to 22 MD schools and about 3 DO. Most of my MD schools are mid-tier. Should I be applying to more DO? Do people with my stats get accepted to MD schools?

You look like you have a good shot to me. Just write your essays well and apply smartly.

But yes this would be better under the WAMC section. People can help you with making an appropriate school list.

Where is your state of residence ? Which schools are you applying to ?

Schools such as UConn, Kansas. UMKC, NEOMED accept few non residents with your MCAT and no connection to the state. Morehouse accepts mainly URM from the African American community. You could add these schools:
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
Creighton
Seton Hall
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington

Thank you so much for the suggestions! This is very helpful.

UMKC also has a BS/MD program from which the vast majority of their MD class is taken, so they have very few spots open for an outside applicant (like, around ten). I wouldn't apply unless you had SERIOUSLY strong ties to the city, and even then KU is right next to it in Kansas City, KS and would be a better bet.

Do you think it's enough to apply to 3 DO schools? Do I have a good enough chance with MD schools if I apply to about 22?

You could add a few more DO schools such as MU-COM and LECOM.
