You should receive several interviews from that list. It may also be worth applying to U Kansas for MD school.

I agree with Faha and you may have luck with some of the lower tier MD schools, like Oakland-B, Netter, Tulane, U Miami, U AR or U OK (yes, next door), Albany, NYMC and the Philly Triplets.

You should apply low tier MD schools too.

I dont know if this will send you guys a notification, but if it does would you mind giving your opinion now that ive gotten an update.

So when i posted the 512 MCAT that was based on my full-length practice exams at the time. In actuality, I took the MCAT on july 8th and got my score today on august 9th. As i scored a 519, do you think i should reevaluate my DO school choices, or should I still apply to the same given my GPA

 

[Faha]

Apply to the same DO schools but also apply to some MD schools. For MD consider these schools:
Kansas -you should be able to receive an interview there
Creighton
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
St. Louis
Tulane
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
New York Medical College
Quinnipiac
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
GW
