Any service orientation activities? Nice advocacy profile, but you need at least 150 hours of service orientation (in-person not online) to avoid getting screened out, and 250-300 to be on par with applicants going for brand-name schools, which I would say you are likely going to be one. Text line is not helpful here.

Is there a reason why you aren't going to a research track or a PhD? Your hours of tutoring point to an academic direction where you are rewarded for teaching (though not necessarily compensated). "Literacy" and awareness are academic goals. You've got a few hundred/thousand hours in this bucket. More hours in this bucket than clinical experiences. Seriously why not MD/PhD?

I had a very similar app - 14II (including 5 T20s) and several acceptances so far. I think you'll be fine as long as your writing is good.

Hey! That’s amazing. Congrats! Any schools you think I should remove/replace? Trying to cut down like 4 schools.

If you're not from the bay/near Davis, I would remove UCD. Depending on how many non-clinical volunteer hours you have, I would also remove Chicago. NYU also might be one to remove due to really high stat medians. Personally tho, I think the more the merrier when it comes to applying. If you can add some more, I would add more mid-tier schools like Tufts and Tulane. Also apply as early as possible. Secondaries in as soon as you can. Prewrite so you can get them in within days. There are a lot of similar applicants so you wanna be at the top of the pile.
