Im having a tough time compiling a school list because of my lack of research, and I don't want to spread myself too thin.

1. sGPA (3.96)
2. 518 (130,128,130,130)
3. NY resident
4. White
5. Very small private school, no name recognition
6. Clinical Volunteer ~300 hours
7. 0 research, unless you would include a senior honors thesis.
8. ~40 hours of shadowing (could be ~70 as a medical mission trip I attended included shadowing, but that was not the main focus of the trip)
9. 90 hours tutoring refugee/immigrant children English and math
10. 1.5 years as a treasurer for a school club that planned fundraisers for the American cancer society, 1 year resident assistant, family foster care.

Add SUNY Upstate and SUNY Downstate. You could also add these schools:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Seton Hall
Einstein
Mount Sinai
Pittsburgh
Remove UNC as they accept few non residents with no connection to the state.
Your lack of research and low non clinical volunteering hours will limit your chances for interviews at the top tier schools.

I'll definitely take a look into those schools, thank you so much!
