Hey Guys, I've been reading alot of what are my chances thread and a bit discouraged. I have 30M with 10 subscore in each section and 3.5 science GPA and 3.6 Non science. I just want to know my chances because I'm actually submitting my amcas tonight so hopefuly I'll get an answer by then.

Here is my ECs:
I work as a scribe in ED shadowing ER docs 40 hours a week, I started this in Feb. So I have about 700 hours of shadowing so far and increasing.
1 year of ER volunteering (100 plus hours)
Human rights organization (1500 plus hours) (came from a oppressed country)
coach soccer team
co-founded a soccer team that was featured on Washington post (should I write this on AMCAS, i feel like it would be bragging)
1 year of research in Neurophys (1000 plus hours)
1 under Grad poster (I know its not much but it wouldn't hurt)
1 week volunteer in Kenya at an orphanage
Community service (lots of hours)
and other hobbies and such

schools I applied to:
Albany Medical College Regular M.D. No Albert Einstein College of Medicine Regular M.D. No Boston University School of Medicine Regular M.D. No Drexel University College of Medicine Regular M.D. No Eastern Virginia Medical School Regular M.D. Yes George Washington University Sch of Med & Hlth Sci Regular M.D. Yes Georgetown University School of Medicine Regular M.D. Yes Jefferson Medical Coll. of Thomas Jefferson Univ. Regular M.D. No Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Regular M.D. No Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medici Regular M.D. No Mount Sinai School of Medicine Regular M.D. No New York Medical College Regular M.D. No Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Scien Regular M.D. No Rush Medical College Regular M.D. No Temple University School of Medicine Regular M.D. No The Commonwealth Medical College Regular M.D. No The University of Vermont College of Medicine Regular M.D. No University of Maryland School of Medicine Regular M.D. Yes University of Rochester School of Medicine and Den Regular M.D. No University of Virginia School of Medicine Regular M.D. Yes Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicin Regular M.D. Yes Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Yes on the side means I'm reapplying to those schools this cycle, I'm currently still on the waitlist for VCU, They interviewed me last cycle even though I didn't have any medical experience. so my medical experience is recent but really growing and is close to 1000 hours. I just shadow docs 40 hours a week.
sorry for writing too much but I really need some feed back

thanks guys and I hope you all the best in life
 
come on guys, just one advice will be enough

I think your GPA is okay, I think your MCAT score is decent especially since it's balanced and I think your ECs are pretty decent. Go ahead and apply. With that being said you really need to stop comparing yourself to some of the kids on here. Don't listen to the negative feedback here and be positive. I personally think your stats are more than enough to get you into a couple of the schools you applied. The fact that there was a weakness in your ECs and you devoted what 40 hours/ week really shows a lot about your character and you need to emphasize that in your personal statement and secondaries! when asked about the reapplication tell them that hey look I really put in the effort to get the medical experiences. I think you're good man remain positive everyone on here is just a student they can give you opinions but don't take it to heart. Keep your head up and follow your passion
 
Hey thanks, what do you think of my school list? Am i in a reasonably less selective zone as far as schools go or am I reaching to high with my low stats
