cGPA: 3.74 Undergrad/4.0 Grad/3.79 total
sGPA: 3.61 (AACOMAS, I think it's lower on AAMC)
MCAT: 507 (125/131/124/127)
TX/OK resident, no other ties
URM and first-gen
Undergraduate institution: large, public, state school with decent pre-med program
Clinical experience:
- medical scribe/assistant 1125 hrs in multiple oncology and surgery specialties
- president of an international medical brigade, 300 hours of volunteer work in country, 3000+ hours in US doing long-term sustainability and education (incredible experience but I've seen people talking about how it might be seen as voluntourism?)
- 500 hours in shadowing FM, ED, derm, OBGYN, surg, etc.
Research: nothing special, just my thesis with Native American healthcare determinants and like one semester in a biochem mass spectrometry lab
Non-clinical volunteering: literally too many to list but at least 5000 hours in shelters, food banks, dog rescues, robotics camps, diversity organizations, and teaching English abroad. I held about 8 positions through these during UG and G
MD Schools applying:

I've already committed to applying this cycle and doing a post-bacc/retaking MCAT if I don't get in but what schools should I add to my list?
*another question for fun
I've had a lot of *adverse experiences*
that I write about in my PS and some of my secondaries but I’m trying to figure out how much is too much? Like at what point is it just a trauma dump or do they start thinking I'm bad luck or something
