WAMC? URM, AA Male: 502 MCAT, 3.7 GPA

[_futuredoc_]

Hi everyone,

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I recently received my MCAT scores and I improved from 497 (6/2018) to 502 (5/2019).
Not as good as I would have liked, but I have been told to apply broadly to both MD and DO schools.
I am a nontrad applicant with well rounded extracurriculars (see below) and I also completed a post bacc program.

Could anyone tell me what my chances are applying this cycle to both MD and DO schools? and what schools would you recommend?

GPA 3.7
sGPA: 3.59
MCAT: 502 (125/124/126/127)

Extracurricular:

1 year medically related non profit research coordinator: 2 co-author publications
1 year Medical scribe
1 year Clinic assistant
300+ hours volunteering in an urban city with adolescent and underserved populations
Health Program Educator (conducted 1 on 1 services and group education classes)

Thank you for this list! Are there any DO schools you would not recommend?

@Goro can advise you on which DO schools to avoid.

I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CalHS is too new and has a too small a rotations base, it seems.
