Of course, one looks at the subscores. Why wouldn't we? We also look at the whole package to determine if there is something that might explain a poor subscore and whether all things considered, the candidate is still someone who has a reasonable chance of doing well in medical school.

And by "poor" I mean something below 126. (I know that 125 is "average" but a 125 does raise eyebrows).

Yes, but this is also reviewer dependent. I personally like seeing good bio scores, other people will cut slack for cars.

Depends on the overall score—if it’s 515+, I don’t look at the subsections. If it’s under 510, I look to see if one subsection is significantly lower than the others.

I look to see if your lowest score confirms any other information in your application... usually if you are under 510 (also).

If you pick your schools carefully (hard to say without more information...fill out a WAMC for better answers) and include both MD and DO you should be okay.

Your MCAT is average for international students: https://www.aamc.org/media/6071/download?attachment. The average MCAT for successful international applicants is 514.2: https://www.aamc.org/media/6076/download?attachment
Your main barrier is having no green card: https://www.aamc.org/media/6016/download?attachment
Last year, 1,297 internationals applied, only 143 matriculated.
There are over 20 DO schools that consider international applicants. Your MCAT would be a plus at most of them.
