Based on your stats alone, you should be competitive for any DO and lower tier MD programs. You leaving out virtually all your ECs doesn't leave much to work with.

I recommend:
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.

I'm not sanguine about MD, except maybe your state school.

If OP's uGPA was 3.8, do you think he would have a good MD (low or mid-tier) chance with those MCAT scores?

I can think of ~19 MD schools for whom a 505 would be in the ballpark of competitive. I am averaging the O[ps scores because this is what a lot of people do.
