While I would not discourage you to apply to your in-state programs, East Carolina prefers applicants from rural North Carolina or those who grew up in marginalized, underresourced backgrounds who also express a passion to serve in those regions.

I also note, if you are in your third gap year, a lot of your described hours seems low and do not reflect 2 years of full-time opportunities. I see your full-time Labcorps job, but you didn't take on any community service for the last two years?
