Welcome to the forujms.

Among the schools on your list, whose recruitment webinars or events have you attended? Are you in Virginia? Where did you grow up in Michigan?

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
