Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags:
I am worried about my personal statement, volunteer/shadowing hours, and maybe just not enough effort in my application. There were small discussion sections such as "how has COVID affected you" and "list some manual dexterity activities" that I didn't go in depth with. I do also have one C in physics that is my lowest grade out of any classes. Everything else seems to be fine. Are applications more competitive this year because of COVID? I am doing my best to be patient, but im losing hope because it has been nothing but 6 months of silence. Thank you
School list:

Colorado
UCSF - reject
UKMC- reject
LECOM
Pitt
Southern Illinois
Maryland
Michigan
