Yes, you have a chance. That 8 in VR is going to hurt you, but everything else seems good. Hopefully you have some good ECs. I'd apply pretty broadly if I were you- probably 20-25 schools at least. Don't shoot for many "top tier" schools unless one or two of them are dream schools. What state are you from? That can have a huge impact on competitiveness.

What is your state of residence? Sorry about the 8.

Of course you stand a chance, everyone does. The question is, how much of a chance? For that, you need to expand upon your extracurriculars, that is, your community service, research details, volunteering, clinical experience, etc. etc. Also, your state of residence would help greatly. If you live in California, things are going to be really tough for you, right from the onset.

Assuming strong ECs, LORs, well-written PS, and good interview skills, I think you have a good chance at three of your state schools (with Oakland). If they suit your interests, I'd also consider (with your LizzyM score of 69) to:

(%=OOS matriculants):

69/Loyola (55%), RFU (53%), UKen (30%), Creighton (89%), Albany (62%), SUNY Downstate (18%) Jefferson (60%), MCW (~65%)
68/UIllinois (27%), Buffalo (29%), Toledo (34%), Drexel (71%), Temple (52%), Vermont (72%), VCU (44%),
67/GWU (96%), FIU (21%), Louisville (25%), Tulane (83%), NYMC (67%), MUSC (22%), SCarolina (18%), EVMS (39%),
66/Rush (19%),
65/Commonweath MC (PA) (29%)
