GPA 3.5 (upwards uGPA trend and post bac classes)
504 (127,123,128,126)
My FLs were fairly consistent at 124-125 for CARS leading up to the big day so I'm disappointed with the score. English is my 2nd language, but that's no excuse as I've been doing multiple sets of passages daily up until exam day.

This is my second attempt at the exam, and I'm not sure if I should take another gap year solely for the mcat, or chance my state MD and apply to as many DO schools?

Unless you live is a very lucky stats, I'd suggest sticking with DO only. Apply broadly.

I can't recommend a retake.

Thank you for the quick advice Goro!
Aside from DOs, would you also recommend an SMP or some sort of post-bac program as a backup?

Also are there any DO schools I should avoid applying with my stats? ie. Costal Touros, RVUCOM, AZCOM etc

I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.

Maybe skip CCOM and AZCOM
