cGPA 3.4
sGPA 3.3
MCAT 506 (127/126/127/126)

I used to be in an accelarated MD program till I dropped due to grades. My GPA curve looks like a U, so I dont know how good that is.

ECs
400 hrs Research for Diabetic Retinopathy, I wrote a grant proposal and am likely going again this summer to work on that some more. If anything gets published I'll be a coauthor since I wrote a discussion piece on it.

I work at a clinic serving Refugees who many of them cant speak english (I'm bilingual). Ive had about a week of working there last summer, and Im working now every sunday there for about 5 hours a week

Volunteer hours
Clinical hours: 100
Non clinical hours: 300

I am quite okay with almost any MD school at this point, and I'm okay as well with the DO route. It doesnt matter much for me as long as I get to be a physician hopefully in ER , but realistically most people dont know what they want until rotations.

Most of my volunteering and shadowing expirience is from high school. The MD program dissuaded ECs and so when I dropped out after sophmore year I didnt have anything substansial.

My MCAT I would prefer to not take it again if it isnt neccessary.

This spring and summer I am looking into scribing and more clinical volunteering as well as more research with my PI and volunteering in the refugee communities.

What are my chances?
I am ok with the DO route since it seems to be the same job same everything really, but if it's possible to go MD I'd rather do that.
 
For MD school your only realistic choices are Medical College of Georgia and Mercer. You are competitive for most DO schools so apply broadly to at least 12 and you should receive several interviews. Include all the schools in the Southeast such as:
PCOM-Georgia
PCOM-Moultrie (new school)
NOVA
LECOM-Bradenton
CUSOM
ACOM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
Accumulate 50 hours of shadowing (including primary care and DO) and more clinical volunteering hours.
