Did all of your physician relatives earn their MD's in the US? Any postgrad training in the US? (Just making sure.)

My uncle earned MD at Wayne, all others did residency in US and practicing in US

Louisville, Wright State, Cooper, Geisinger, U Wisconsin admit few non residents with your MCAT scores and no connection to the state. Rush and Loyola are looking for applicants with far more clinical and non clinical hours than you have.
I suggest adding these schools this week:
Medical College Wisconsin
TCU-UNT
Wake Forest
Virginia Commonwealth
George Washington
New York Medical College
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac

@Faha Is it too late to apply in the cycle? Or do I still have a chance? What are my prospects at the schools I applied?
Should I add DO?

You are competitive for all DO schools with your stats. The GPA-MCAT grid shows you have a 80% chance for a MD acceptance. Have you already applied to the MD schools on your list ? If not, you need to apply in the coming week and submit all your secondaries by early October. If you want to apply to DO schools you can wait until October when you have completed your MD secondaries.

Yes, I applied to all the schools I initially listed. I was worried because I didn't submit the secondaries until late August. Some people made me feel that my chances were over because I was so late in the game.
