I would like to know my chances for this cycle, and maybe which schools I should consider. Especially concerned about my lower sub-section scores, and whether I should consider re-taking the MCAT. Thanks for your time looking at this!

Your chances for MD school are very low but you could be accepted at some DO schools. Schools to consider include:
ARCOM (new school)
ACOM
BCOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
NYIT-Arkansas (new school)
RVU-Utah (new school)
UIW (new school-Texas)
 
Make sure to apply broadly and you should get some DO II.
Good luck!
