Your EC's seem pretty solid.

In all honesty, I think that your chances at an MD school are slim to none with that low of an MCAT. For a DO school, you have a respectable chance at getting in if you have GREAT LOR's, a solid personal statement, and are just very quick and on time with everything.

But I will tell you the same thing many people have told me. If you KNOW that you want to be a doctor, your chances of getting in are 100% if you are willing to work hard enough for it. It just might take a little while.

Don't get discouraged, and best of luck to you.

thank you! I appreciate the quick feedback!

You're probably a shoe-in for DO schools if you have a reasonable personality.

MCAT is too low for MD schools, but fine for COMs. you should be getting plenty of interviews this year from them.
Good luck!

You will probably get into a DO school. In the event that you do not, retake the MCAT. Getting a higher MCAT will give you the most return for your time/money investment.
