Some of the schools on your list are far reaches with your stats and ECs and schools such as Rush, Georgetown, Creighton and Loyola expect many more hours of clinical and non clinical volunteering than you have. I suggest these schools from your list:
DO- Midwestern
MD
Tufts
George Washington
Sidney Kimmel
Wake Forest
Miami
Wayne State
Albert Einstein
MCW
Vermont
Drexel
Tulane
Illinois
Rosalind Franklin
Hackensack Meridian
You could add these schools:
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
TCU-UNT
NOVA MD
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Temple
Jefferson
New York Medical College
Albany
Quinnipiac
 
Your nonclinical hours are very low and don't clearly show service orientation as defined by AAMC. You really need to get off-campus and serve others. Examples include food pantry or delivery, shelter work (women and children, LGBTQ, homeless, etc.), habitat or housing security, or job training for formerly Incarcerated.

What feedback has your advisor and committee given you?

My advisor told me that I should be fine and that’s she seen students with less Ecs get in

Where did they get accepted (from the ones on your list)? I can tell you none of the programs I have worked with will consider you for an interview (based on the information given) so if there are others, point them out from your list. Trust but verify.

You also cannot compare with others unless you know how they got with the schools.

I am not sure, I was just basing this off of the information that she had given me.
