You should receive interviews at MD schools with your stats and you are competitive for all DO schools. You would benefit from 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelters, etc. . I suggest these MD schools with your stats:
U Michigan
Michigan State
Wayne State
Central Michigan
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Toledo
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Iowa
Indiana
TCU
Alice Walton
Belmont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
George Washington
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Hackensack
Albany
New York Medical College
Vermont
Quinnipiac
For DO schools consider these:
MSUCOM
MU-COM
DMU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
CUSOM
LECOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
PCOM

You have very little service orientation activities. As recommended above, you must have 150 hours before applying. Activities include food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. Fundraising and "leadership" do not count. Also, tutoring and mentoring are academic activities and do not contribute to service orientation.

Find and define your purpose as a physician. It's not clear from what you have left us.

Hello! Thank you so much for the reply! I greatly appreciate it 🙂

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Hello! Thank you so much for the reply!
For the club that I started, it is based off of a nonprofit that is already existed and running. Through the club we hold food drives, donation drives (for necessities), help package food, etc. which are donated to displaced families in the Middle East! Through that I have many hours! The clubs purpose is to help displaced families get the essential aid that they need! Do you believe that will help as service activities?

Not clear if you are directly helping the families themselves, i.e., assisting them in the United States with their needs. It sounds a lot like what many churches and mosques do... so I guess it depends on the breakdown of activities and hours (how much for "leadership"/administration vs. face-to-face with those who you are helping). You do not mention hours spent in your description, which is why Faha and I raise the question.

Given the large Middle Eastern diaspora in Michigan, it may make some sense for the medical schools where you are in-state. I just point this out that your GPA may not be the only issue.

Would not include chiropractor assistant hours if I were you.

Hi! Thank you for the reply!
Why shouldn’t I include it?

I was going to say the same thing. OP has more hours in that than anything. 🙄
OP stop shadowing the surgeon. Pull out some hours from your IM scribing for IM shadowing. Or get some shadowing in primary care.

Thank you so much! May I know why not to include those hours?

"Chiropractic assistant" would only count as paid employment, not clinical. Those hours are not relevant for an MD application.

Just speaking from a brutally “realistic” point of view, many, if not most, MD’s/DO’s have a hard time accepting the supposed “scientific “ basis of chiropractic practice.There are problems there. And, as an aside, I authored one of the seminal papers that anatomically and histopathologically described the mechanism of catastrophic injury to the vertebral artery following chiropractic manipulation of the neck in a major journal. The mainstream medical community has a sense of aversion to some of the field’s practices. ( me- MD U of ILL 1977, retired).
