What chance does a DO with a 3.2 GPA and 215 step I have of matching into an allo gas program?

You should be fine. Apply to lots of programs, do well on interviews, etc etc. Have fun 4th year.

Apply to wherever you wanna go and rock on. Kudos for taken USMLE.

I cannot speak for all the programs and can barely speak for mine (other than personal experience) but our program here (at a fairly-well-known little clinic in SE Minnesota) places a lot of value and selection decision weight on whether we know the person. As in, a person who wangles a clinical clerkship for a month in their fourth year. The word on the street is that it is a sure way to an interview at least and definitely a good experience if nothing else.
Don't know if that helps at all...

I don't know about the BIG Mayo but you have a good shot at LITTLE Mayo in Jacksonville, Florida. You will like the weather, the attendings and the location.

Blade, I figure nothing ventured nothing gained and you never know...

GaGirl- I am glad you are heading toward the greatest profession there is. I will look for you doing a clerkship here in SE Minnesota.
