I'm a current OMS3 at a newer DO school in the SE
Around 50th percentile in my class
Step1: 239 Comlex 1: 578
Step2: Currently studying for, but I've been honoring all my rotations and shelves
Research: Working on publishing a case study, have 1 prior publication and 2 presentations from bench work
Extracurricular: Plenty of volunteering, involvement student government and clubs. president of my hospital's student journal club

Considering I score 250+ on CK, how competitive am I to match? What can I do to improve my standing going into 4th year?

Thanks in advance

I think you will be fine. I had slightly lower scores (237/550) and I ended up with 13 interviews this cycle. Just know that you will need to apply broadly and do your homework to make sure you set up a good 4th year schedule and application strategy.
