Did you apply to any DO schools? Your MCAT is a bit low for MD, and your ECs seem average / below average.

Where did you apply last time?
How many interviews did you get?
What feedback did you get from schools about improvements they recommended?
How have you enhanced your application since you last applied?

Sorry for posting it in the wrong section. I am mainly interested in DO. But does any MD school consider these stats?

Last year I applied to some MD and DO schools. I applied late in the cycle. I got one interview from a DO school and got wait-listed

For MD, your chances are about 33% with a 3.75/26.

Obviously, your chances are much better for DO

I would focus strongly in applying to as many D.O. schools as possible. You will likely get an acceptance if you get everything (including secondaries) in before mid-August.

1) But does any MD school consider these stats?

2) Last year I applied to some MD and DO schools. I applied late in the cycle. I got one interview from a DO school and got wait-listed

1) If you qualify for one of the schools serving special populations, or you live where there's a lenient state school and you have terrific ECs, an acceptance to MD is possible.

2) Did you call them and ask for feedback on what needs improvement?
