LECOM (all schools)
ACOM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
BCOM
ICOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UIWSOM
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
CHSU-COM (new school)
Sam Houston State (new school)
If you are applying this year you need to submit your application this month and all your secondaries by October.

OK, thank you.

I have an interview at my graduate post-bacc school where I am currently doing an MS which is an MD school. Do you think I have any chance at landing interviews at other MD schools?
 
Other than your state schools (Virginia Commonwealth and Eastern Virginia) MD interviews are unlikely with your stats.

VCU
EVMS
Va Tech if you're from rural western VA

That's it for MD
Any DO program. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CalHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites.
 
Ahhh the VCU CERT program. Make sure to apply DO. I had similar stats to you and did not get off the waitlist at VCU. Did not think I killed the interview - pm me if you have any questions.

Edit: WAMC DO: 2.9 sGPA, 3.35 cGPA, 3.6 SMP, 508 MCAT <--- WAMC if you want my stats. very similar. good luck to both of us this cycle!
