Two thoughts come to mind - I think I’d look for a school where you will get personal attention and do your best to maintain a high GPA. Secondarily, Please don’t rule out going to become a Doctor of Osteopathy as the requirements can be a bit (and really only a small bit) more forgiving.

As for actual schools, I’d be open to looking at the 2nd tier State Schools in your state or to smaller LACs that have had good luck with getting students into Medical Schools. You will hear it more from others I’m sure, but your GPA and MCAT scores count far more than the prestige of the institution when it comes to Medical School acceptance.

Good luck.
