Welcome to the forums. Have you attended any recruitment events? Did you register for the upcoming AMCAS/AAMC and AACOMAS virtual fairs in June? Have you networked with SNMA or any non-profit organizations focused on supporting aspiring Black physicians? Have you connected with MSPA members at schools on your list?

What do you feel is your purpose as a physician against which schools can determine your mission fit?

Thanks for the welcome! I have attended a few local recruitment events at neighboring med schools through my own uni's MAPS (undergrad linked SNMA org) organization. I wasn't the most committed member just because of conflicting meetings/events timing with my other responsibilities, but I was able to gather some helpful mentorship and info. I was never able to attend AMEC though, but hopefully will as a med student! Also, I'll look into the AMCAS AACOMAS virtual fairs - I wasn't aware of this, so it's great!

As for my future goals as a physician, it may be obvious from my activities list, but I genuinely enjoyed all of my extracurricular involvements during/after college, but I find myself all over the place. I know I am interested in service, mentorship/teaching, and maybe research, which is why my current approach was to cast a wide net and apply to schools that are leaders in one or more of these categories. I am worried about the service part though, as I do not have as many hours as someone who hopes to attend a school with a free clinic/strong service emphasis. I'm interested in a variety of specialties, but one factor I know I'll use to determine which I eventually pick is the degree to which I can give back to my community within the field.

Hope this answers all your questions!

You have several state public schools on your list that admit few non residents with no connection to the state. Some of your other schools are unrealistic with MCAT scores of 503 and 507. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Mercer
UGA
MCG
Emory
Howard
Meharry
Morehouse
Charles Drew
Xavier Ochsner (when it opens)
Miami
NOVA MD
Belmont
Tulane
Alice Walton
TCU
Wake Forest
Methodist
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
George Washington
Georgetown
Drexel
Temple
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Roseman
For DO schools I suggest these:
PCOM (all schools)
VCOM (all schools)
CUSOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
WVSOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
NOVA
