If the MCAT score is good, what are the chances of an African-American female with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and a scienceGPA of 2.8 of getting into a DO school? This is not including extra-curriculars, volunteer, or research experiences. This is just based on grades alone.
You have a shot. Have to do well on MCAT and have to write a compelling application. Everyone is allowed some vulnerability in their app, but everything else should hit it out of the ball park.
What year are you in? You should strive for a better GPA and sGPA to increase your chances. And be sure to get your MCAT over 505 or some thing.
For all MCAT scores, 24% of african american applicants with a GPA between 3-3.19 got in to an allopathic medical school. For 3.2-3.39 it was 36.2%. I imagine DO chances are higher.

@iwannabe_Brown From that chart, it seems with a 3-3.19, if I get a 30-32, I have about a 75% chance. Do you know if this is cGPA or science GPA?
If you look at the top of the chart, it says “Total GPA” , but the adcoms do put a lot of consideration in sGPA in addition to “total GPA” or cGPA. From AMCAS, the applicants normally have some what smaller difference between cGPA and sGPA than yours, in the range of .2 or so. Your difference between the two is going to make it harder to be accepted by MD schools. A 2.8 in sGPA could indicate that you do not have a basic understanding in science and that will look bad in med schools.
Of the 110 applicants with those stats, you are correct that 75% were admitted to an allopathic medical school. That table is cumulative GPA
