You won't have issues matching into an academic program. I can guarantee that. Back in my day, 240 was the magic cutoff where you could say your score was competitive unless things have changed. Now, your shot at getting to Brigham or UCSF with that profile are probably on the lower side. But just apply broadly with enough target type programs and you'll be OK.
