REALLY strong letters from my undergrad & grad pre-med advisors, and osteopathic physician.

I am looking to apply to D.O. schools and some integrative-related MD schools and want to know my chances of getting an interview or acceptance for the 2017-2018 cycle. The only thing really bringing me down is my MCAT and I can't figure out whether I need to retake it. Help please!

When do you think I would hear back about an interview if I have already submitted my secondary and letters of recommendation?

Anytime after your secondary is submitted. Some schools send you a notice when they have processed all your info and are getting ready to determine if you will get an interview or not. I've seen applicants for ARCOM get an II 4 days after they submitted their secondary. I have similar stats to yours and I have not received an interview. I have submitted all 15 secondaries within the past 7 days.
