Apply to all DO schools. Your stats are great.
As for MD, TX schools are your best friend. GPA is kinda low for MD

do you think it will matter if i got a 22 the first time I took it if I justify a reason for my low score?
(due to a long-term illness that I wasn't aware of at the time?)

What were the two month/year date of the two MCATs? I think time and distance from the old MCAT might help.

Agree 100%. But Baylor, UTSW and UTxH are no-gos.

Sounds good, I thought you wanted to apply this cycle. In any case, submit early in May and apply broadly. That should yield an acceptance.

I would say MD is a bit of a long shot with your GPA, but you should be okay for most DO schools. If you're planning on applying now, do so extremely quickly to increase your chances of an acceptance. Good luck to you.
