This is basically what I have:
MCAT 25
Undergrad BS 3.45
Grad MS 3.45

Any recommendations on were to apply that I would be in the running?
I am in Louisiana and the school here (LSU) says I suck. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
Honestly, my recommendation would be to not apply anywhere with a 25 MCAT but to retake the test. I think you'd have a tough time getting into even the DO schools with a 25.
 
Well, there are other pieces to the pie. If you have amazing research or EC's you might have a shot. Also, if you are an underrepresented minority. However, if these don't apply to you, I would say that you should probably think about applying to osteopathic schools. There is a good chance that applying to most allopathic schools would just be a waste of time and money. However, if you are set on allopathic, you could always delay another year and re-take the MCAT.

The OP probably has already taken MCAT more than once. If so, he should read your post carefully. In any case, it is wise to look deeper into osteopathic medicine or even caribbean schools.
