I am kind of bummed but I won't let it get me down that much. I got a 500 (123/127/125/125). I have 3.42 GPA (Finance major). Should I even continue this cycle to apply or should I throw in the towel and wait until next cycle? Thanks
 
Apply broadly, especially targeting the newest schools.

Skip: the Touros, LUCOM, CCOM, Nova, WCU, KCU and AZCOM

Here is some of my other information as well. So like LECOM is what you are thinking?

Additional information

~2000 hrs of clinical experience as an EMT on an ambulance
~100 hrs of shadowing
~700 hrs volunteering as a firefighter
~300 hrs volunteering as a ski patroller
~100 hrs volunteering at a refuge house for women

EC's
Treasurer - Delta Tau Delta Fraternity
Order of Omega Honor Society
National Society for Leadership and Success
National Society for Collegiate Scholars.

I own a business that I started at the end of high school. It is currently a large business with employees and numerous clients. (Sidenote: This is probably one of the reasons my GPA is low. The time required to run this business definitely took away from my classwork at times.)

I don't know if this should be something to put on an application but I developed a lubricant on my own for the automotive exhaust industry that is getting a patent (Thanks Orgo). It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to the current one that is getting phased out.
 
Apply to LECOM, skip LUCOM.

Are there any other schools that you would recommend? I was looking at Marian University but I am not sure if I am coming in way too far under the bar there or not.
