Stony Brook admits few non residents with no connection to the state. Add Drexel. Also consider USF Morsani, Northwestern, Duke.

What's the nature of your non-clinical? What activities did you do?

With that in mind I don't see any significant holes in your application, I'd say your list looks good. Be sure to pair with strong writing/LORs/early submission if possible

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Where were your interviews last cycle?

Sure, if all that is missing is integrating your clinical observation into your application, then hopefully you'll get more attention this time. Articulate your mission fit and make sure you really know how it aligns with the schools on your list.
