This is my first question on sdn so hello! What are my chances given my stats (3 part question restated at end)?

Here are my stats:
cGPA: 2.93
sGPA: 2.785
MCAT: 507 [127/124/129/127]
Research: >4,000hrs, 3 1st authored pubs (>IF 3), 3 posters (2 presented at university, 1 presented at national level.
Shadowing: 112hrs + counting (16hrs pediatrics, 16hrs GI, 40hrs IR, 40hrs Surgery)
Clinical Volunteering: 200hrs + counting (VA, AIDS hospital, Local hospital)
Non clinical Volunteering: >2,000hrs + counting (including teaching different language to children)
Leadership: UTA for 4 upper level classes (1 science, 3 philosophy and 1 intro science class, President of 3rd largest campus org., President of club sport, president of 2 other smaller orgs., Research mentor for 3 students and one tech.

What are my chances if I apply directly w/o gap year/ post bacc (not trying for committee letter)?
What are my chances if I apply for a post bacc/smp?
What are my chances of getting in after the post bacc/smp if I get in and do well (3.7+)?

Thank you so much for any help!!!!

you can apply DO with grade replacement, but forget about MD. They care more about your undergrad GPA, and yours is super low. And from what I hear on here, 3.7 is super low for a postbacc. Apparently only 3.9+ almost means something

Yes, only apply DO, don't waste money on MD apps. That CR score on your MCAT would also be to low for most MD schools anyways...



chance without postbac... ok becuase of your MCAT
chance after postbac... decent
 
Your MCAT is fine for any DO school but you need to increase your GPA to greater than 3.0 and apply broadly to at least 20 DO schools to have a chance for a DO admission.
