I know the 121 CARS is going to take me out the game significantly regarding MD programs. However, I still have a made a list as I am going to take a chance with them. I also have a list of 15 D.O programs. Was wondering what my chances look like regarding both MD/DO programs and if someone could help me out with a list of MD schools i should apply to. thanks!

You are competitive for the majority of DO schools but which ones are you applying to? MD is unlikely due to your MCAT scores with a low CARS. Which MD schools are you thinking of applying to?

U Washington accepts less than 1% of applicants who are not from the northwest states. Louisville and Wright state are state public schools that accept very few non residents with your stats. Your DO list is good.
