Your clinical and non clinical hours are low for top tier schools. You also have some state public schools that admit few non residents with no connection to the state. Some schools screen at 150 hours for non clinical volunteering so accumulate another 30+ hours at the food bank before you submit your application. I suggest these schools:
IS:

Penn (institutional connection)
Jefferson
Temple
Pitt
Drexel
Geisinger
Penn State

OOS:

reach
Stanford (they seem to take a lot of people from my lab)
Columbia
Michigan
Cornell
Mount Sinai (institutional connection)
Brown
Einstein
Colorado
Florida Atlantic
Nova
Miami
Emory
Ohio State
Dartmouth
Cincinnati
Wake Forest
AZ Phoenix
UIC
Hackensack
VCU
Tulane
MCW
NYMC
Vermont
Albany
West Virginia
Quinnipiac
Western Michigan
Rosalind Franklin
Virginia Tech
TCU
Alice Walton
 
112 hours, almost all at a rural hospital in the ER and general surgery/surgical clinic. I am very interested in rural medicine but not sure how/whether I can sell this because I am not from a rural area nor have I worked in one. My interest in rural medicine is more so related to my graduate work and personal moral journey.
How is this related to your patient navigator work in a free clinic? That's a ton of shadowing hours.

If you want to talk the talk (rural medicine), you need to walk the walk and speak the language.

If you want to move to Florida close to your in-laws, are they in central Florida? How much do you know of what rural health means there?
