Post your MCAT score here when available since it will determine our advice on where you can apply. Will you be claiming NJ or VA residency?

A 502 MCAT with your GPA would give you less than a 20% chance for a MD admission according to the GPA-MCAT grid. You may have a chance at EVMS. A 502 MCAT and your GPA is competitive for many DO schools. However, your DO list has 3 schools(Michigan State, Oklahoma and Ohio) that have a strong instate preference. Consider DO schools such as West Virginia, PCOM, LECOM (both schools), VCOM (all 3 schools), CUSOM, UP-KYCOM.

It depends on your actual MCAT. There is a huge difference in your chances between a 500 ( 14%) and a 508 (50%). Post your score here when available. A 502 puts you below the 10% for almost every private MD school and all your state public schools.

OP does have military service which should give him a nice little boost in the app process
