3.7 cGPA
3.7 sGPA
11 VR, 11 BS, 8 PS

Triple Major, Chem, Biochem and Math

6 years of healthcare related volunteerwork, 3 different locations
60 hours shadowing
Plenty of good ECs (newpaper journalist, honors societies, campus leadership positions etc)
Tutor/Workshop Leader/ Supplemental Instruction Leader
Very good Letters of recommendation, small school with an extremely small department, my professors know everything about me.
2 Summers of research in a non-health related field totaling 1200 hours

Just not sure how much that 8 in the physical science will hold me back, especially since I am a chem major. Anyone who has/had a similar situation?
 
Best chances will be with your state school (if any), the newest MD schools and all low-tier programs, and any DO program.

FYI I am an OH resident with no out of state ties to any state

My current list is:
Rush
Loyola
RFU
Indiana
Oakland
Buffalo
NY Medical College
OSU
Wright State
Toledo
Cincinnati
Commonwealth
Virginia Commonwealth
Wake Forest
Penn State
MC Wisconsin
George Washington
Drexel

Are any of these ridiculously out of reach? OSU is my biggg reach, but since it was my state school I couldnt resist. Also Indiana is probably a no go but they screen pretty heavily I've heard and I've already paid the AMCAS fee so no point in deleting it now.
