I refrained from some of those because I was told to not apply to many schools that get 10k apps. I think TCU also accepts only 60 people. USF Morsani had an average MCAT of 519 so out of my league I think. Will check out the other schools - thank you.
 
Your 130 hours of tutoring may not satisfy non-clinical service orientation at the schools you have applied to. You must have 150 hours of activities such as food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation, preferably independent from a clinical context. The hours must have been completed before applying.
