Hello everyone!

I am finishing up my last year at college. I just took the June MCAT--22N.
(I took Kaplan review course and practice test average was 24).
VR 7
BS 8
PS 7
science GPA is 3.629
cumulative GPA is 3.804

I have been involved in extracurricular activities in school (school newspaper writer, TA for math class, TA for upper-division animal physiology lab, president of the pre-health club, lab research, member of a few honor societies, volunteering at the hospital during summer and winter breaks).

I am more interested in DO programs than MD and really want to go to Western being from CA. (My sister currently attends Western for DO and several family members are physicians, including my dad (MD).)

Is there any realistic chance I can get into any schools? In the US? What schools should I definitely contact about applying? The MCAT is definitely a downer, but I don't think that I should retake in the fall with an overloaded schedule to graduate in spring.

Please, I appreciate constructive advice!

You need to retake the mcat. Do not retake it until your practice tests show a major improvement.
