Hello, I just wanted to ask what are my chances of getting into medical school. (I'm new to this so please excuse me if I sound "weird"!)

I have a 4.0 GPA and sGPA
40 on MCAT
100 hours of non medical volunteering (food bank, etc.)
100 hours of hospital volunteering
50 hours of shadowing
2 semesters of research
studied Spanish abroad in Barcelona (I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Hindi)
I tutor kids
Pharmacy tech certified
worked as cashier for sometime
Made dean's list
I play guitar, piano, and percussion
I have attended two scientific conferences
I think I have great LORs

My dream school is UCLA but I know that is super hard! But I will try my hardest!
In addition to UCLA, I will try A&M, Baylor, UCSF, UC Irvine, UT, and others of the sort.

Also, when I apply I will be 19 years old ( I do not know if that will make a difference).
I am a Texas resident

I really appreciate your feedback!! If you guys have any suggestions for me, I would love to hear them!

Thank you so much!!

You have to be joking

The sky is the limit for you! Ideally, I'd like to see more volunteering. The ECs are rather "cookie cutter"....but your stats can't be sneezed at.

Start with UT TX, and UT-H, and every other school in TX. Then think about Stanford, UCSF, Harvard, etc.

No way really?! So I actually have a chance at the top schools?!

Yes

Most successful applicants have something that distinguishes them from the legions of academic clones. So, show off your altruism and humanism.

And sorry, what do you mean by " cookie cutter"?

Your EC's are very "run of the mill."
