I won't recommend WCU-COM due to high attrition rate and low placement rate this year. ICOM and BCOM don't have federal loans yet, so you'll have to deal with private loans.
I would add:
KCU (both campuses)
CUSOM
ATSU-KCOM
ATSU-SOMA
DMUCOM
LECOM
MU-COM
PCOM (all 3 campuses)
TUNCOM
Between the upward post bac and decent MCAT I would aim for these..awesome schools
KCU
DMU
KCOM
TUNCOM
PCOM
LECOM (not Bradenton)
RVU
Consider UNECOM (mandatory attendance and dress code)
Drop...
ICOM
BCOM

I interviewed at KCU last year, and though I had a high GPAs 3.7+, but being an ESL student I struggled with my MCAT. I had a 500 (after 4 tries), and I was waitlisted, so I'd say you have a chance at KCU. Some people at my interview even had lower GPAs and around the same MCAT. About PCOM, it's a great school, so it's still worth a try, I was only invited for an interview at PCOM-GA last year (I applied to both campuses)Wow, you guys really think I have a shot at KCU and PCOM (main campus)? I was under the impression that they had high stat requirements
I suggest:
I suggest:
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.
All FL MD schools except USF and U Miami.
Concur.FIU FSU and FAU are more reasonable. UCF and USF are getting competitive. UF is hard. UM is a longshot also likely.
Im a FL resident 3.82 507 and doubt ill see any love from anyone except maybe FIU or FAU, maybe FSU and i doubt it but longshot Miami.
Not going to apply to Nova MD?FIU FSU and FAU are more reasonable. UCF and USF are getting competitive. UF is hard. UM is a longshot also likely.

Do I have a realistic shot at the MD schools in FL? I wasn't even bothering to apply with a 506 and a 3.2 GPA (I am ORM)

I think you are right and would not be surprised with silence with a 3.82 507 and silence.Obviously everyone has their own experiences, but just thought I’d mention mine in the 2016-2017 cycle. I had a 3.5 AMCAS/508, Florida my entire life, and I didn’t get any MD interviews period, including all the Florida schools. A lot of people I’ve met with the same experiences. It’s not an easy state.

You have to try though, and FL secondary’s are like $30 each... There are a handful of DO programs I would be very happy attending.
Yep, same here. Also had a 506 OP, but my GPA was 3.8+. Applied to all FL MDs except for NSU, only got a II from FAU, and ended up WL'ed. It's tough.A lot of people I’ve met with the same experiences. It’s not an easy state
