Carle is looking for applicants with an engineering background. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Albany Medical College
Drexel University
Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University
Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University
Georgetown University
Loyola University in Chicago
Medical College of Wisconsin
NEOMED
Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine
Ohio State University
Penn State University
Rosalind Franklin University Chicago Medical School
Thomas Jefferson College of Medicine
Tulane University
University of Cincinnati
University of Toledo
University of Vermont
Virginia Commonwealth University
Wake Forest University
Wayne State University
Wright State
Temple
Methodist
NOVA MD
West Virginia
Belmont
Ponce (St. Louis)
Alice Walton
TCU
Roseman
Creighton
For DO schools I suggest these:
OU-HCOM
LECOM
PCOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
DMU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
CUSOM
WVSOM
 
I would say good if:

1) you clearly write your purpose as a physician
2) you aren't picky where you go to medical school from this list (i.e., you are realistic)

We don't have your application, and your descriptions are not insightful to gauge these two conditions for me. I trust your advisors and letters are true champions for your application.

Your chances would be better if I could tell how much service orientation you have done before applying. Founding a club is leadership.
 
I have worked as a Patient Care Assistant (PCA)   for over 1500+ hours and built platform for Cancer patient outreach/support programs.

I am intersted to get into a MED school (not picky) and would prefer in state or colleges that can/will accept my credentials.
