3.5ish cGPA, 3.0ish sGPA, 24Q MCAT (for sure retaking Aug 23)

My stats are low, but I have great ECs and LORs (including one from a DO). Other than the stats, I do believe I am a good candidate but I could be completely wrong.

Please HELP!

Thanks in advance!
 
Not great considering the poor MCAT and sub par sGPA. But you could be lucky.

That's a pretty low sGPA and MCAT. I think the most important is you retake the MCAT.
 
Without a very high mcat (34+), you have almost no chance at MD schools. Even then, your chances are very slim unless you are a URM. You will need a 28+ to have a shot at most DO schools due to your low gpa.

Your best shot it going to be DO schools unless you are willing to do significant gpa repair (1-2 years of work).

I have indicated on my application that I am taking the MCAT again in Aug. Will the schools wait for that score until they send me the secondaries? Will I even get secondaries?

I think most schools will send you secondaries and then wait for your new mcat for interview invites.

What was your score breakdown for the MCAT? Did you already apply? I think you would get a much better return on your application investment by waiting a year, retaking the MCAT (push the test date back even later), and taking advantage of the AACOMAS course retake policy.
