You should receive multiple DO interviews with your stats. The interview season for DO schools extend to next April.

I agree with Faha, but you might have trouble with PCOM, CCOM, AZCOM and the Touros

This is encouraging, thank you. I'm worried about being screened out due to sGPA.

Thank you for your insight. Is it worth adding some more DO schools at this point in the cycle?

Agreeing... though if you are really intent on going to MD, you will need an SMP. Choose one closest to the schools where you really want to go to for medical school.
