Forgot to add that my BCPM is brought down from a 3.56 to a 3.3 because of a 5 unit Math class I failed during my freshman year. I also go A's on every upper division science course/elective I took during junior and senior year

Vermont

Eastern Virginia
NOVA MD
Miami
Tulane

Remove OU-HCOM and OSU-COM from your DO list since they accept few non residents.
