@Faha Thank you so much for your list, greatly appreciate it. A couple of followup questions, if you don't mind. What do you think of the below schools?
Harvard
Stanford
UCLA (Spanish - will it help?)
UVA
UMD
Vermont
Miami
USC Keck
Iowa Carver

Also, is it worth applying to stat loving Washington? 125 CARS 🙁

Harvard and Stanford are reaches but the others are fine. Washington University likes high stat applicants and has a high interview rate.

Do you recommend Brown for people who did not attend Brown for undergrad? I've heard they recruit heavily from their own alumni?

Yes. Brown has a separate program that admits their own undergraduates but they also admit ~85 applicants through AMCAS.

Hard to eval whether you have a shot at these programs without knowing more about your app. Your activities are great for an undergrad going straight through, but they're sparse for someone a few years out of school. The 125 will likely hold you back if you're not bilingual/immigrant. Spanish will help anywhere in CA, especially at USC.

I can't make more focused recommendations on your school list with this info. But your metrics are good enough that you'll be considered at most places with a strong app. So instead focus on putting together a compelling app.

Thank you so much @MD_Maker. Hope to bring my clinical hours to 1000 by application time. Mission is to work with the underserved, specifically the Hispanic community.

Doesn't, unfortunately. Work with hispanic community could be a strong focus, depends how it turns out.
