please give me advice on my chances

[koala54]

what are my chances if I have a 3.54 gpa and mcats are
first time bio-8, physical-8 verbal 10
second time bio-9 physical 7 verbal-10

i really dont want to take the MCAT again because I dont know what else I could do to study and honestly dont think I can really improve. Do I have ANY chance at getting into any MD med school in the US? Im from Ohio and Im only applying to the lower tier schools and have submitted my primary and some secondaries....

Well, you have a chance - far be it from someone who got accepted with a 2.89 BCMP to discourage others - but that chance is very slim. The fact that you're an OH resident is a huge bonus for you since there are many state schools that are fairly forgiving, stat-wise. I strongly advise you to apply DO as well as MD this year. Don't waste a year just because you're set on being an MD for whatever reason. You're competitive for DO, so go for it.
