You are competitive for most DO schools. Apply to at least 10 and you should receive several interviews. Where is your state of residence ?

CA. Do I have a shot at some MD schools?

Lethal for MD, fine for DO with a broad application.

What are your EC's ?

Almost a year of research in lab in Reproductive Medicine ( no posters/ publications), 1+ year of volunteering at a Pregnancy Crisis Non-profit org, and 1+ year working in a Gynecology practice, currently working on shadowing hours

MD schools are unlikely with your MCAT scores as a CA resident. Concentrate on a DO application.

Thank you for your input! What are some schools I should consider applying to?

Thank you! Do you think I should retake the MCAT the third time? Or just focus on other EC's and apply next cycle?

If you apply broadly to DO schools you should receive several interviews. These are schools where you could receive interviews with your stats:
ACOM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
BCOM
ATSU-SOMA
TUNCOM
UIWSOM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
CUSOM
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
LECOM (all schools)

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you specified the Arkansas campus and not the NY campus? Are the stats @ NY campus not in my favor?

 

[Faha]

Your MCAT is below the median for the NY campus and they have have an instate preference (83% of their students are NY residents).
