Just looking for some advice and opinions on my likelihood of getting into a DO school.

cGPA-3.36
sGPA-3.07
MCAT-500
Minority from a rural town with specific interest in rural medicine. Great EC's, lots of shadowing, first gen college student, research experience, great letters of rec.

What do you guys think my odds of getting into a DO school?

Which minority group do you belong to? Where is your state of residence?

On my DO application, I was considered to be from an area that is medically disadvantaged. I am from rural Appalachia.

These are DO schools where you could receive an interview with your stats:
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LMU-DCOM
ACOM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
VCOM (all 3 schools)
BCOM
WCU-COM
RVU-Utah
UIWSOM
If you are applying this year you need to submit your application soon and submit all your secondaries by late October. Some schools require a DO LOR.

I submitted secondaries and have everything turned in to KYCOM, VCOM, LMU, and WVSOM. I just know that some schools have a required sGPA of 3.2 so I didn't know how lenient they are with that and that is why I am worried.

But that doesn't make you UIM.

Being from a MUS does not make you a minority lol

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but your stats are on the low end for all of these schools. You need serious GPA repair to be even moderately competitive. If you could barely get a 3.0 sGPA in college, what makes you think you could suddenly hack it in medical school?
