There are no MD schools that are realistic with your MCAT of 496. You could receive interviews at some DO schools and I suggest these:
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
UNECOM
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
LUCOM
VCOM (all schools)
OCOM
LMU-DCOM (all schools)
WCU-COM
ACOM
NYIT-AR
ARCOM
BUCOM
UIWSOM
BCOM (both schools)
KHSC-COM
Noorda-COM
RVU-Montana
Touro-Montana
ICOM
D'Youville (if it opens)
Many of these schools have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range so you could receive interviews. Apply this month and submit all your secondaries by August.
