Hi all, I plan to apply this June for 2017 and wanted to know my chances. Another thing was my MCAT retake score being lower in some sections, but higher by 1 point overall.

3.70 cGPA
3.67 sGPA
1st MCAT Score (126/124/126/124)
2nd MCAT Score (127/123/124/127)

ECs/About Me:
-200-300 hours volunteering at a hospital
-Co-Founded my Medical NGO (with my host mother) in Kenya that supplies medical supplies to a village in Nakuru (we have 41 women from only 4 we started with in 2014 🙂 )
-Taught English in Kenya for four months in Nakuru
-Worked at Dunkin Donuts for four years: 2 years as an employee, 2 years as an evening manager
-Gen Chem Lab TA for a semester
-Haven't shadowed any DOs or MDs yet, but plan to start from Spring Break and up until June
-Co-Founded my own app startup, still in development
-SES Disadvantaged, but ORM (Asian-American) : dad works at a convenience store, only went to high school in India, makes $20,000/year and supports all four of us. Mom is a homemaker.
-GA Resident

The only thing that worries me is my MCAT score drop in Verbal and B/B

School List:

GA-PCOM
Morehouse SOM
Mercer
Medical College of Georgia
LECOM
LMU-DCOM
MSUCOM
OU-HCOM
PNWU-COM
WVSOM
WCUCOM

Any more MD or DO schools? Any that I should remove?

Thanks!
 
Your chances are low for MD but it is worth a try for your state schools. You have a chance at some DO schools, mainly the newer ones. Consider these DO schools:
ACOM
BCOM
WCU-COM
CUSOM
LUCOM
GA-PCOM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
Any new DO schools that open in 2017
If you apply in June and submit your secondaries in July you should receive some interviews
