Note: Edited to be more vague since I've received help

1. GPA: mid-3.8s cGPA/3.70-75 sGPA (sort of an upward trend? My trend looks like a square root sign honestly)
2. MCAT: 99th percentile
3. Residence: -
4. Race: ORM
5. Undergrad: T20 undergrad with T20 med school
6. Clinical experience: 145 hours volunteer, 200 hours paid

8. Shadowing: 40 hours (adult primary care, OB/GYN, pediatric inpatient care)
9. Non-clinical volunteering: 240 hours
10. Other ECs: 55 hours tutoring/TAing, 700 hours personal hobby, 2000 hours extensive leadership. Spending gap year doing research part-time and medical assisting part-time.
11. Honors or awards: none :/
12. Anything else:
- A lot of my volunteer/clinical hours and my personal interests are oriented toward the urban underserved (and I prefer cities in general), so that was a main priority when crafting my school list.

You could add:

USF
Hofstra
Boston
Jefferson
Dartmouth
Iowa
UMass
Michigan
Ohio State
Cincinnati

MCW and VCU are more likely to offer interviews to applicants who would ultimately attend, so remove them.

I can see that for MCW, but do you really think I'd get yield protected at VCU? My sGPA is nearly 0.1 below their median.
