Could use help with this? I think the MCAT/gpa is much too low for MD admissions but I wanted to try at some schools anyways. Is there any chance at MD programs at all?

Here is my list so far:
MD:
- Seton Hall-Hackensack
- EVMS
- V-tech
- MCW
- Indiana
- TCU
- Tulane
- Vermont
- NEOMED

DO:
RVU-COM
ATSU

VCOM Carolinas
VCOM virginia
CCOM-Illinois

Would love some insight from @Faha and @Goro (thanks to both of you for all you do!). If you recommend any alterations to the list?

For MD, I suggest:

Tulane
SLU (maybe)
Albany
Wayne State
MCW
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
Rosy Franklin
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
U MA

For DO, your list is good, but delete Rowan (likes IS), RVU (unethical SOBs).

ADD: UIW, NYITCOM-AR,

Thanks so much! Honored to receive your advice. Just to clarify for the MD list, are you suggesting to consider applying to the one's you listed rather than the one's I had? Or to add those to my list?
