With your current MCAT of 502 your Minnesota state public schools are your only realistic option for MD schools. You could retake the MCAT but you need a score of 507 or higher for some OOS private MD schools. However, you are competitive for the majority of DO schools so apply broadly to at least 12 schools and you should receive several interviews.
