Looks fine, but you're going to want a bigger mid-tier base. Schools to consider include Ohio State, Rochester, SLU, USC-Keck, Case Western, and perhaps throw Pitt in there. I wouldn't necessarily bother with NYMC and friends.

No, UCLA is a little weirder, especially because it's a UC school. However, if you want to apply, there's no reason not to.

The adcoms on this forum have very prominently discouraged clinical volunteerism abroad. Does this go the same for non-clinical volunteerism? I'm asking for OP since he has 200 hours abroad.

Your MCAT is high but your sGPA is in the range for these schools. Your sGPA is also on the lower end for many of the schools on your original list and most of them are very competitive.
Looks fine to me. Will definitely get you interviews
