Chances of acceptance are 100% on you. Chances for interviews are suggesting these schools:
Seton Hall
Tulane
Temple (maybe)
SLU (maybe)
WVU
Oakland U Beaumont
Wayne State
MCW

Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)

Loyola
Rosy Franklin
TCU/UNT
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Your state school(s).
Any DO school. I can't recommend Nova, Wm Carey, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CUHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites. UIW refuses to post their Boards scores, which is fishy.
