MD & DO WAMC? 4.0/518 ORM NJ

I am applying to both MD and DO because I wanna improve my chances, and I don't mind the difference.
Question: Are my ECs lacking in terms of hours?, also I'd like feedback on my school list (amount of schools, school selections, etc), it probably isn't perfect. Thanks!

Accumulate another 50+ hours in your Charity Organization before you submit you application since some schools screen at 150 hours for non clinical volunteering. Schools such as Rush, Loyola, Georgetown are looking for applicants with many hundreds of hours of non clinical volunteering. I suggest these MD schools with your stats:
Your 3 New Jersey state public schools
Hackensack
