Although you haven't posted experiences so I don't have an idea of what kind of applicant you are as a whole, if I were you I would really consider cutting down on the number of MD schools you are applying to. I think you are okay to apply to some but more than a few of the MD schools you've listed have a median MCAT much higher than 504. Some of these schools I think would qualify as too far of a reach are St. Louis, Miami, Temple, and Wake. But if you want to apply to 20+ MD schools I would try to choose some with lower MCAT medians.

That being said, I'm only an accepted MD applicant and don't have much credibility other than that so you can take my advice with a grain of salt.

You need an MCAT retake if you seriously want love from MD schools. You should be ok for most DOs.

What are your EC's ? Do you have any clinical volunteering or shadowing hours?

Hi y'all,

Thanks for the feedback! I don't feel comfortable sharing all my stats here, but I'd say I have a very strong personal statement and ECs. Would anyone care to provide some quick feedback on the former?

If you have adequate shadowing and clinical volunteering hours then you could receive interviews at the DO schools you listed. You could receive MD interviews but your MCAT is low for many schools. Consider adding Drexel and Western Michigan to your list.
