Help Me Expand My School List

The title says it all. I got my application verified two days ago and I really messed up during my Freshman year. I took three courses at a community college and, I admit, I got lazy and aimed for all C's in them, knowing that the GPA won't affect my college GPA. Recently I realized that AMCAS takes account of all college credits in the overall GPA. It really brought my GPA down and now I need to rethink my whole Med School List. Anyways, can you guys look at my MCAT and GPAs and see whether or not I will still have a chance at an MD school. If so, where?

I'm a resident in Pennsylvania

MCAT: 30 (P12/V8/B10)
Overall GPA: 3.71
Science GPA: 3.78
Non Science GPA: 3.59

The "What are my chances" section will aid you better. If a moderator sees this, they can move it over.

C's in community college? aren't those courses supposed to be easier? you still have a chance but those C's probably won't look good to adcoms. but since it happened freshman year it might look like an upward trend. apply to all your state schools (theres a ton) and private OOS schools in your range. check MSAR.

Oh thanks! I will move it there then!

I know! It's really my fault. I didn't try to work for As. It was during the summer and all I wanted was to have the credits to transfer. I didn't know that GPA will be affected as well...
