Here are my stats. Do I have any chance at all with any MD or DOs, if yes which ones? Does anyone have any success stories with similar GPA/MCAT?

B.S. Biology, minor chemistry, division I athlete 4 years, 3.49 GPA/3.35 science GPA, MCAT 26 🙁, honors program freshman year, 1+ years working full time at primate research center, abstract presented at national conference, lots of shadowing Drs, world travel, lots of personal experience as a patient, 2 years volunteering at a children's hospital.

Put all of your energies into DO. I think only several MD schools would consider you with those stats if you are a URM and/or if you live in a state with schools that accept those scores (ie Nevada, South Carolina, New Mexico).
 
You should be fine for DO but apply to at least 10 schools to maximize your chances. Your chances for MD are probably less than 10% but it may be worth applying to your state schools and the newer MD schools (Quinnipiac, Western Michigan, Oakland Beaumont).
 
Concur 100% with my learned colleague.

apply to 10+ DO schools. Avoid CCOM, AZCOM, Touro-NY and Touro-CA
