3.55/499 HYP Grad

That strikes me as odd - people that can get SAT/ACT scores for HYP are standardized test-savvy and making a 3.7/3.4 would not indicate below-average performance or difficulty with the material. However if you feel doing much better than the 499 is unlikely, all you can do is apply.

If so, your list will need major revamping. Add DO schools. U of Mississippi absolutely MUST go on your list, it is far and away your most likely MD acceptance thanks to the 100% instate policy and MCAT range spanning down to 24. For a few other MD schools look through the MSAR and build a list as if you had a 25, which means special attention to the places with the lowest extending MCAT ranges like:

West Virginia University School of Medicine
East Tennesse State Uni James Quillen College of Med
Sanford School of Medicine at Uni of South Dakota
University of Arkansas for Med Sci College of Med
Florida State University College of Medicine
University of South Carolina School of Medicine
University of South Carolina School of Med Greenville
Northeast Ohio Medical University
Mercer University School of Med
University of North Dakota School of Medicine
University of New Mexico School of Medicine
Marshall University Joan C Edwards School of Medicine
University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine

Many of these interview only a few percent of OOS applicants, but they're the only reasonable options with a below average MCAT. Applying to a list like yours where most schools have a 10th percentile line some 30 percentile above you is begging for a failed cycle.

But as Wedgie said, first thing is trying again at the MCAT. You may need to totally revamp your study method, but its worth a go.
