Mexican/Chicano. English fluency, very basic spanish. In terms of community service, I have been a counselor at stay away kids cancer camps for 6 camps. Also, I led fundraising for making strides, relay for life, and walk ms during all my college years. Volunteer lego judge for at state fair for 8 years

Your only real MD chance is your state school. UNM matriculated around a dozen students with your MCAT score. Your chances at OOS schools with that score are remote.

If you are not accepted this year it would be a good idea to retake the MCAT with much pretest studying. Also if you are not accepted this year consider applying broadly to DO schools next year.
