You have the most interesting usernames! 😍😍😍
 
IMO I would suggest applying broadly, your cycle could go either way. 520 is great but I don’t think it’s high enough that you need to worry about being yield protected

It absolutely will get you interview slot protected. Even a 517+ can at many schools. There is a reason the top 10% at some schools is lower than a 517. Part of it becomes self fulfilling, but they don't want to waste an interview slot on someone with stats off the charts for their school.
 
300 hours is not going to turn any heads at the top schools but it won't get you screened out either. Take your shot. I do think you have a better chance at the top schools than you do one tier down where they will be hesitant with the expectation that you'll sign with Harvard, Yale, Colombia, Hopkins, etc.
