We gave you a list and suggestions. What's different? Will you add DO schools? A new DO program just opened up at the Chicago School so that's two DO schools near Chicago (with CCOM).

If you are applying now all of your “anticipated” activities really won’t be counted for much.
Despite being an Illinois resident, you don’t have anywhere near the number of service hours required and expected for Loyola and Rush applicants. They expect, and get, hundreds if not thousands of hours from their applicants. Does your food bank activity bring you face to face with people unlike yourself or is it administrative/orbstocking ? The purpose of nonclinical volunteering is to get you out of your comfort zone and help you work with people very unlike yourself. Just a FYI, many/most schools expect way more nonclinical volunteering than you currently have. If you don’t have at least 150+ hours you might be screened out.
Good luck.

I added more non-clinical volunteering which I had forgot to include in my previous post so I should hit the 150+ mark thankfully. I also added anticipated hours but according to candbgirl that wouldn't have much of an impact. I was looking mainly to apply to MD for this cycle just so I'm not at a disadvantage for applying to competitive specialties in the future. I was heavily considering Midwestern as a DO school to apply to this year but the tuition is simply way too much for me to consider.Previously
