Take a gap year.

20 clinical hours is not enough. Shadowing does not fulfill this. From what I see you have no service to the less fortunate, also something schools expect.

 

[Faha]

MCG, FIU and NYMC are the only realistic schools on your list. Your clinical exposure hours are low which will limit your chances for interviews. You could try these schools also:
Mercer
NOVA MD
George Washington
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Seton Hall
Quinnipiac
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
TCU-UNT
Loma Linda
You should also apply broadly to DO schools and I suggest these:
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
VCOM (all 3 schools)
CUSOM
ACOM
UIWSOM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
MU-COM
LECOM (all schools)

You really aren’t ready to apply. Your clinical experience and nonclinical volunteering with those less fortunate than yourself are very weak. Save yourself the time and money and take a gap year. Build your application and apply next cycle.

What UIM group do you represent?
