Hi jnjose,
Welcome to join the forum. Most Path programs are university-based so if you match, it's very likely to be a univ program.  You have good credentials. I don't see a problem if you just want to match.

I guess it all depends on the programs and your overall package. It can be a problem for some programs but probably not for all. I know a couple of people from my med sch who got into top 10 programs (not pathology) 7-9 years after graduation from med sch (all have PhDs from US sch and awesome publications). But I personally don't know anybody in your situation.
