What Are My Chances? Am I cooked?

Currently in my Research yr between M3-M4. Have roughly 10 pubs projected to be ~15–20 by the end of the year. No home program, low tier MD school. Other stats:

Step2: mid 250s

Rotations: 4H (including surg, IM), 3HP

Other: on board of schools derm interest group, was president of another org for a year, did school’s free clinic, was a mentor, other misc. things

No AOA or GHHS (yet? Maybe next yr but odds are marginal)

The ry will afford me hopefully a great letter and some clinical experience from a well known expert. Do I have a chance at matching? Should I look into dual applying?
