yes, official VA resident. Early education was in MI. I have attended AWSOM and Belmont info session. I am unaware of any recruitment webinars going on.

Rush and Loyola expect far more non clinical volunteering hours than you have. Some of your schools are unrealistic with a MCAT of 508.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
Central Michigan State
Michigan State
Wake Forest University
Oakland University
Rosalind Franklin University
Penn State University
Thomas Jefferson
Albany Medical College
Medical College of Wisconsin
Temple University
University of Vermont
Drexel University
Marshall
Quinnipac University
Wayne State
Belmont University
West Virginia
creighton university
vcu
vtech
evms
uva
methodist
Anne Burnett at TCU
VCOM
MSUCOM
pcom
NYITCOM
Roseman
Alice Walton
NOVA MD
George Washington

Thank you for that, looking at NOVA MD demographics on MSAR, it doesn't look like they interview many OOS students, I am also in between their 25th to 10th percentile MCAT, would this be a good idea? on the same note, aren't my stats too low for GWU? Please let me know what about my application you thought speaks to those schools. Also, could you let me know why I should not apply to Western MI? Thank you for all your help!

Western Michigan admitted only 4 non resident applicants with a MCAT of less than 510 last year. NOVA and GW are possible and you need to cast a wide net for possible MD schools if you are interested in MD.
