Hey Everyone,

I'll be applying this round, just curious as to what my chances are to getting into a DO school with my credentials. I'm also an Arizona Resident

DO Schools:

Top Two DO schools I would like to go to
Midwestern University
A.T. Still University

sGPA: 3.95, cGPA: 3.86

MCAT
1st attempt: 25O (10P, 5V, 10B)
2nd attempt: 25P (9P, 7V, 9B) I like this distribution a bit more

Extra curricular's:

Work:
Personal trainer for 3 years during my undergrad

Held office in 2 different clubs on campus for 3 and 2 years respectively:
Cultural Club President for 2 years and VP for the year prior
Was the head of a tutoring initiative of the pre-health honors club

Camp counselor for Camp Kesem for 2 summers

Completed 3 Internships:

Research:
Completed a Case study with a few of the residents from the Cleveland Clinic on Sonographic imaging that was later published on July 2011

Have been working on another on campus research that dealt with Bio-mechanics of a football throw for about 3 semesters.

Cadaver Prosections:

After I graduated I was elected to the board of a National Non-Profit Organization Called the LCN (Lebanese Collegiate Network) as their VP of Membership. The organization caters for more than 20 Universities and helps students with professional building skills.

anddddddd I'm a die hard volunteer at the Iron Man Triathlon 😍

Any thoughts on my chances guys?
 
GPA is outstanding, and probably enough to make up for a 25 (which, by itself, is not a major black mark for DO). I assume you mean the ATSU/Midwestern campuses in Arizona... I haven't heard that they have strong regional biases but I can't imagine you wouldn't have a great shot at these schools anyway... if you want to cover your bases, apply a little wider.
