Need Help with School List/Chances as Reapplicant

[drtoodleloo]

Hi everyone! I applied this last cycle to both MD and DO schools and was sadly waitlisted to two DO schools and have not yet been accepted. Therefore, I am reapplying. I live in New York City, am an ORM (Asian American) and am planning on only applying to DO schools. I recently graduated undergrad and am looking for some advice.

My stats are:
MCAT (3x taker): 1st attempt: 491 , 2nd attempt: 496, 3rd attempt: 501
Cgpa: 3.61
Sgpa: 3.22

I have a strong set of extracurriculars and a lot of hours shadowing physicians. Some activities include dance team, tutoring, teaching hs students, shadowing, research, lab, literary magazine, journal club, and more.

To improve my app I am in a Masters Program of Biology in my gap year and am aiming to earn a 4.0.

My list as of now includes:
NYITCOM- NY
LECOM
WVSOM
TouroCOM
RowanSOM

Please let me know if you guys think I have a chance at this cycle and what schools I should add. If you need more information just let me know!! Thanks in advance!

Yes, most of them have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range so you should receive interviews with your 501.
