Just got MCAT score so finally need to figure out my life
What are my chances? Any suggestions for which schools would be best to shoot for with my stats? Applying only DO currently
509 mcat, one attempt balanced 128/127/127/127
3.4 cGPA, 3.38 sGPA upward trend from a top public university
rising senior neuroscience major, astronomy minor
Michigan resident, mother lives in Missouri and could easily establish residency there as well
very rural upbringing in northern mich (isolated and underserved, less than 250 people in village) and interested in rural med
white female
EC's
-two years (1000 hrs) clinical research at major children's hospital in orthopedic surgery and anesthesiology with multiple acknowledgements and posters with awards, no pubs
-around 12o hours total shadowing family medicine MD, multiple surgeons and anesthesiologists
-500 hours ER volunteering
-1oo hours volunteering in underserved community helping maintain urban agriculture garden, leadership role
-200 hours Ronald McDonald house volunteering

-President of nationally ranked club sports team (2years leadership, 3 total)
-Alpine Ski Team competitor for University
-Astronomical Student Association member, astronomy and astrophysics tutor
-published poet in major literary magazine

-Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition through Cornell, really interested in alternative/holistic approaches to diet and medicine

LORs- 2 science, 1 non science, 1 DO (ER), 1 MD (rural family med), 1 PhD PI
MSUCOM is top choice though I know my gpa is below their average:/ ATSU and RVU are also at the top of the list. Other suggestions as to which schools would be good matches given my stats, interests, and EC's? Thanks so much in advance! Best of luck to everyone this cycle!
