So you have no nonclinical volunteering? You really need about 150 hours of service to those less fortunate in your community. You should be able to show your altruistic side. Talking about always wanting to do something isn’t going to help you!

Your GPAs are lowish for MD but fine for DO. I know you aren’t interested in DO but you might have to make a hard decision at some point. But your professors are right , The higher your GPA the better but as you said it will be hard to move your GPAs at this point. If you can get some nonclinical volunteering before June you could try and apply to your state med schools. You could also apply to several low tier private medical schools and see what happens. Keep up with your activities in case you have to reapply.

Look at @Faha ‘s list. There are several schools you might want to consider. Unless you get significant nonclinical volunteering you might not want to consider the Jesuit schools listed. They are huge on service! As I said before you should look at private schools.

The fact that you attended UC Irvine will help you more than anything else you can do in the next few months. All medical schools give at least some preference to those applicants who attended the undergraduate school.
