I say you have a shot if you apply to a lot of schools that accept OOS and all your IS. Ask adcoms for a list. I would apply to a lot if you want to get in. Also you look really good for DO

I suggest these schools with your stats:
UC Davis
UC Irvine
California University
Kaiser
Loma Linda
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Albany
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Georgetown
Eastern Virginia
NOVA MD
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Rush
St. Louis
Creighton
Tulane
Also apply to at least 6 DO schools and you are competitive for all DO schools.
