FL resident 3.84 cgpa / 3.79 sgpa 502 to 506 mcat MD/DO chances?

[jhg1232]

1st mcat 502: CP = 128 , CARS = 122 , BB = 126 , PSY = 126
1nd mcat 506: CP = 128 , CARS = 124 , BB = 128 , PSY = 126
3.84 cgpa, 3.79 sgpa (DO sgpa is higher, over 3.8)
(im obviously worried about the 124 cars which is in the 49% and do not want to retake for a third time if i dont have to)
I am white and have all the usual EC's shadowing and clinical volunteering with patient experience as well as non clinical volunteering, clubs, etc. I also just graduated so I will have a year of no school in which I will be doing research as well as working as an ER scribe during the year before my anticipated matriculation.

I am obviously going to apply to all in state FL MD and DO schools but in regards to OOS schools, should i focus my time and money on DO schools? Any insight is appreciated.

Would especially love your opinion @Goro

The GPA-MCAT grid shows you have a 60% chance for a MD acceptance with your stats so you could add a few OOS private MD schools such as:
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
GW
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Creighton
Rosalind Franklin
You are competitive for all DO schools so add another 6 or more that appeal to you.

Thank you for your insight Faha!
In regards to DO schools, would it be worth applying to a few more if i can afford it? So far I have come up with Nova and lecom b of course, along with Tuoro NY, pcom Georgia, all the edward via coms, chicago, alabama, arizona, liberty, rocky vista colorado, and maybe the texas Do schools

What was your strategy for increasing your MCAT score? I have the same GPA as you and currently sit at a 502 (128 125 124 125). I studied for a couple of summers and the fall semester before my January test date. I also took a PR online class during the fall semester (and 7 practice test). On the AAMC tests, I scored 506 and 504 in the weeks leading up to the test. I'm deciding whether or not to retake it in June at this point. Thoughts?/How did you decide to retake? Thanks!
