Hi! I'm a student at a school in Ohio. Could anyone recommend some schools for me and whether I have a chance at UMass and Tufts specifically?

3.64 cGPA, 3.62 sGPA (upward trend from a 3.48 cGPA after fall sophomore year)
Major: Biochemistry major, psychology minor (senior)
511 mcat (126/130/127/128)
MA resident, Asian

Shadowing:
~80 hrs total, MD (cardiac surgery, internal medicine, anesthesiology, genetics, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, infectious diseases)

Research:
~2.5 yrs (probs more than 500 hrs) research in a pathology lab, 1 co-author pub. (like #12 out of 20)
~ 280 hrs of funded summer research in a chem lab, 3rd author pub. being processed

Clinical volunteering:
300+ hrs in hospital (pediatric oncology/hematology)
~40 hrs Mom power program

Non-clinical volunteering:
~40 hrs mentoring program in an underserved high school
~40 hrs tutoring program

Extracurriculars: Not much really, I just like to learn piano and art. Hoping to be a scribe for my gap year.

I would prefer MD, but not opposed to DO.
Thank you!

Also apply to 5 or 6 DO schools and include UNECOM.

Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)

Seton Hall

U MA
Any DO program. 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.
