youth sports and coaching- 125
Diabetes prevention program I helped run for community memebers- 125
At top tier schools you will be competing with applicants with many hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering (they are not looking for youth sports or coaching). Remove U Chicago and Creighton. Otherwise, your list is good. Add Washington University (in St. Louis-they like high stats)
