I am heading into the application process and I’m somewhat nervous about applying

My info:
Majors: Gender Studies/Biology
URM (Black male) non traditional student (2 years out)
cGPA: 3.37 (dip sophomore year but improvement since then)
sGPA: 3.10
MCAT: 518 (130/127/129/132)
Undergrad: HYPSM
Clinical hours: over 1000 as an ED scribe, Shadowing in surgery, ob/gyn, ID/HIV, and primary care
Research: 1.5 years clinical public health research on LGBT mental health, no pubs; completed a gender studies ethnographic thesis that received awards/commendation
Volunteer: HIV testing/prevention staff part time for 1.5 years in college. Was passionate about this so went into the field after college where I help connect queer people of color get connected to prevention/treatment resources
My LORs are range from decent to fantastic!
Home State: IL

Could you all help me put together a list of MD schools to apply to? Or if I even stand a chance?

Clarify: non-traditional 2 years out. Does this mean you already graduated and have been working 2 years post-graduation? How did you do with your upper-level biomedical science classes?

Have you reached out to diversity/student affairs officers at schools that you highly desire to attend? How about current students either on SDN or through AMSA or SNMA? Obviously all your in-state options should be considered in play, but you may raise your target a little higher if that's of interest.
