Looks fine to me, just don't try to spread all those "member" ECs over multiple entries.

 

[FutureDrB]

Yeah, I'll just stick those in together somewhere.

Need more leadership roles. Also might want to look into getting some research experience. Other than that, your volunteering and shadowing is great.

More leadership? Really? Hmm... I actually thought that was my strongest area. I was a teacher too, does that count.
Ditto on the research though.

You're leadership is fine. Missed #3 and #4 on ur list and thought you were just members of different clubs.

looks like you ur heart is going toward primary care/helping the humanity. im pretty sure DO schools like that.

research isn't necessary for DO schools (maybe for tcom if you're applying tmd). its a good ec to have but not a deal breaker for any school.

MSUCOM would like to see research also bc they are a large research university

Agreed. Any state school will appreciate research interest and experience. I pointed out TCOM because op is from Texas.
