I know my chances of acceptance aren't great and I will be starting a masters program this fall to improve my app but I still want to maximize my chances for acceptance next year. Should I add any schools? Remove any? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unless you had a nice rising sGPA and cGPA trend, I can't recommend applying with an sGPAS that low, and especially NOT to Wm Carey.

I understand your hesitation. I enrolled in an SMP to show med schools and myself that I CAN hack it in med school. Despite that fact, I still wanted to apply to schools this year on the off chance that I can get accepted before finishing my Master's program. I'm almost 27 and if I can start school 1 year earlier, I will!

If anyone else has any feedback on my school list it would be greatly appreciated! @Faha ?

If you want to honestly show yourself that you can handle med school, you'll do the full SMP. Patience is a virtue.

Wait, apply next year when you have done most of your SMP and have the grades to back it up

I understand wanting to start school sooner if possible, but that sGPA is rough. Your SMP is exactly what you need. If you have the money to throw away, then go ahead and still apply. I would personally avoid applying now because then you'll just become a reapplicant at these schools after your SMP.
