Many of the schools on your list are not realistic with a MCAT of 508. Your 100 hours of clinical volunteering is low and you may be screened out at some schools. In the coming year you should accumulate another 100+ hours of non clinical volunteering and 200+ hours of non clinical volunteering (food bank, homeless shelter). You would be better off to apply in June 2025 and work on improving your clinical and non clinical ECs.
A higher MCAT score will also help.

Instead of withdrawing your application, search for schools in your geographic region that have median MCAT scores nearer yours and adjust your school list.
How many schools did you list on your AMCAS app so far?

Those are the schools I already submitted for the application... If I hold no chance to those schools, I will probably withdraw the application today.

You have a chance at a good number of the schools lower on your list. If you have access to MSAR you can see which of your schools have MCAT average close to yours.
Go ahead and do the secondary essays for those.
I’m not sure why you feel like giving up so soon when you have gone to the work of submitting?

What advice did you receive from your prehealth advisors since you attend a "top toer" school? Committee letter?

However, I don't have much financial support, so I plan to work full-time and engage in clinical services during my gap year. I don't mind which school I get into from the list above.

Are you ineligible for FAP? How do you plan to pay off $400k of debt if it costs that much to go to medical school? Why is DO off the table? Do you really want to go to medical school because you don't give me that impression that you are willing to improve or learn.
