Please break down your clinical experience hours for shadowing and clinical volunteering. On non-clinical, is your Americorps experience your only significant non-clinical/community service?

I have 250 clinical volunteering hours and have 30 shadowing hours with FM, Ortho, and ENT. Yes, the AmeriCorps service is my only non-clinical volunteering post-high school.

Maybe add UF and USF too? I've just seen it advised to apply to all your in state schools and your MCAT is a little low but still possible!
 
You should add your other Florida schools: U Florida and USF. You could add any of these schools:
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
TCU-UNT

Thank you for the advice! Do I realistically have a shot at UF or USF if I barely meet the 10th MCAT percentile?
