As long as your MCAT is at least 508 you should receive MD interviews. You could receive DO interviews with 500. Post your actual score here in the future.

You seem to have all of the boxes checked although your nonclinical volunteering low(I think tutoring/teaching) is a separate category.

But this statement leads me to believe you think/know you won’t have the best application possible. There is no such thing as “good enough” when applying to med school, or there shouldn’t be anyway. You only want to apply when you have the application that shows off the best possible you.
Good luck on the MCAT.

Thank you! I definitely agree. I was a little sleep deprived making this because I was just getting off from a night shift, haha. I am pretty confident in my application but I wanted to get some outside opinions to see where I stand.

Your EC's are looking great and GPA is pretty good, but your chances hinge on the MCAT, so study hard for it and aim fro 510+.
