Welcome to the forums.
Details matter. What were your responsibilities in your activities? What feedback have you gotten from your prehealth advisors? Have you applied already?

Make sure you interview well. If you want to be a doctor it’ll happen.

Is this not too top-heavy? Plus, isn't the median at NYU 524 or something crazy like that?
No, it is not top heavy. The Black applicant pool is small and there are only ~30 applicants per year that apply with a GPA of 3.6+ AND a MCAT of 520+. If every top 30 school admitted one then that is only one per each school.
For the OP: are you connected with SNMA or any mentoring organization related to the NMA that supports aspiring Black physicians?

No, I've never heard of them. Is that something that's going to be helpful in any meaningful way?
I would encourage you to check them out on Social Media. They will eventually be connecting with you should you be admitted.

Interesting, so they do not matter until I get into medical school? Sorry for asking these questions; I do not have social media, so I was not aware of them or their purpose.
Oh they matter. They have a very active premed mentoring structure, including with undergraduate MAPS chapters. I argue many people who don't discover them until they get into medical school wished they had connected with SNMA much earlier.
