Why did you premed advisor want you to wait a few years to become a "different" applicant? I usually hear this when there's something in someone's past that they need to be far removed from in order to have a chance. Would "better" applicant be more fitting in your case?
 
not marrying a medical student? he's missing out.

ok you listed things you'd do during your gap year but what ECs do you currently have?
 
You applied a little too too heavy. However, you have three interviews so I wouldn't count yourself out yet. Even with the not fantastic school list, I don't think you have to worry at this point.
 
Reapplying the next cycle is fine as long as you improve your app. If you have to be a re-app, stress that you matured and how you became certain you want to be a physician.

Something like prison education would certainly be interesting and make for some damn good secondary essays. Just make sure to get a good amount of clinical experience as well.

If you re-app, add some more safety schools with lower average stats. Best of luck though, and you certainly aren't down or out yet!
