Please help me.. Do I have any hope?

[elsocio-premed]

Can I get into an MD or DO school?

These are my stats:
- Hispanic (Colombian)
- Green card holder (Permanent resident) -- Florida resident
- Biology major
- 3.8 science GPA
- 3.8 cumulative GPA
- 497 MCAT (125 BS, 126 CP, 124 Social, 122 CARS) I am extremely disappointed with my score I think the CARS score is due to the fact that English is my second language as a migrated to the US 4.5 years ago
- 60+ hours shadowing in pulmonology and MICU, critical care doctors
- ~350 hours of volunteering at 2 different hospitals
- 10.5 hours non-clinical volunteering taking care of vegetables and fruits for homeless people
- good LORs
- Coauthor of a publication in entomology

I feel like I have no chance to get into medical school what do you think? Would you recommend to me any schools to apply?

Thanks a lot.

You do have a chance at some of the newer DO schools with your stats so I suggest applying to all these:
ACOM
ARCOM
BCOM
ICOM
UIWSOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LUCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
NYIT-Arkansas
CUSOM
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
LECOM Bradenton
NSU-COM
Many of these schools have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range so you should be able to receive some interviews especially with your GPA of 3.8 .
It would also be worth trying some of your Florida MD schools
NOVA MD
Florida State
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Central Florida
U South Florida
U Florida
Your fluency in Spanish may help your at some schools. You could also try these OOS MD schools
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
George Washington
Oakland Beaumont
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Creighton
St. Louis

Thanks for that list!
I will be retaking the mcat in June 2. I have been preparing better for it, so I hope to improve my score.
