Your stats are better than mine and I got 7 interviews (1 MD and 6 DO) with multiple acceptances. Make sure to apply to both RVU’s (i’ll be attending southern Utah). I would add ACOM. They are willing to take lower MCATs and the school actually rocks. I would have gone there but I have a bunch of family in Utah. Your app is great man! Lower MCAT, but I think you’ll be fine as long as you interview well.
