thanks!

Wash U is completely unrealistic with a 508. Einstein is also beyond a reach, and an odd choice for a low SES Floridian.

Apply to all the Florida schools, for starters. There are quite a few. Then look at the mostly private lower-tier schools: Tulane, Drexel, Chicago Med, Netter, NYMC, MCW, SLU, and so on. @Faha can help.

I suggest:
ALL FL schools
Albany
Drexel
EVMS (maybe)
Frist/Belmont (note: having financial troubles this year!)
Gtown
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
Loyola
LSU-S
MCW
Netter
Oakland-B
Penn State
Rosy Franklin
Rush
SLU
Tulane
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Wake Forest
Wayne State

Any DO program. I can't recommend LMU, SOMA, RVU, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. Avoid those new schools that haven't graduated a class yet, if at all possible.

Ahaha fair. I was mostly applying Wash U because my partner is doing their masters there. Besides Einstein’s funding I would be interested in working with Bronx patients but I will remove it from my list because you are right about my chances.

Thank you for the advice. Will look into the schools suggested!

am hoping they take my low income background into consideration (thus my many jobs, 4 simultaneously), particularly because I didn’t have a car during college.

What jobs are these? What about your international research experiences?

Having SHPEP helps a little though it doesn't overcome low volunteering completely. Ultimately it will be obvious that you had to pay your way.

Do you have any in person physician shadowing hours? You would benefit from another 50+ hours at the hospice since some schools screen at 150 hours.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
U Florida
Florida State
Central Florida
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
NOVA MD
USF Morsani
Miami
Methodist
Wake Forest
Belmont
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
George Washington
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Wayne State
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Ponce (St. Louis)
TCU
Roseman
Also apply to DO schools and I suggest these:
LECOM (both Florida schools)
NOVA
ACOM
VCOM (all school)
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
