I'm a Canadian premed who didn't get into a Canadian MD school this last cycle. I'm applying to US schools for the first time and just submitted my US DO app. I haven't finished the US MD app, but I wanted to get some opinions before I put time and money into the application.

I have a 502 -> 500 MCAT. Yes, I know, the drop is a red flag to schools and imo the score isn't competitive for any US MD schools as a Canadian. I want to retake to be competitive for Canada (this is my priority). I am a BME major with really strong ECs and have a 3.81 GPA.

I'm currently working full-time, so I paused MCAT studying to do my applications. Now that I'm done, I'm deciding btwn continuing MCAT studying or churning out the US MD apps. My thought process is...what's the point in applying if my MCAT will probably get me rejected. I'm not sure what the process is from the schools' end. If I apply now, will my application just get held until I return a good MCAT score? If it gets held until they receive my MCAT, shouldn't I just wait until then to apply anyway? Since it is on a rolling admissions basis, I don't want to miss the admissions window by delaying my application to September, but also don't see the point in applying if my stats aren't great.

I think it is clear what I'm leaning towards, but I'd really appreciate some insight, whether it be reassurance for fomo from the US MD app lol or a justification for why I should apply.

Edit: I'd also greatly appreciate any insights about my chances for US DO. I applied to the following schools:

AZCOM

KCUCOM

All LECOM campuses

LUCOM

MU-WCOM

MSUCOM

NSUCOM

RVUSOM

RVUCOM

WCUCOM

Western University of Health Sciences

I recently graduated from mac and am debating taking orgo 1 & 2 with lab at mac vs brock. I'm a premed and taking these courses as US MD prereqs and therefore want to get the highest grade i can. I assume it is easier at Brock but wanted to get input from anyone who has done this. Are lectures recorded at Brock and do they offer labs later in the day (after 9-5 work hours)?
