Schools such as Georgetown and Rush are looking for applicants with many hundreds of hours of non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelter, etc. .. Your list is top heavy. You could add more schools this week and consider these:
USF Morsani
Miami
Rochester
Hofstra
Temple
George Washington
Cincinnati

Thank you, will do. Is there anything that catches your eye as to why I haven't heard from other schools?

No, but many of the schools you applied to are very competitive. The interview season extends until March and the majority of interview slots have not been filled yet.

Yeah, your list is top heavy and you have little to no service orientation experience to speak of. Examples include food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. You should have at least 150 hours at submission to avoid getting screened out at most schools. Players in the higher-metrics pool should have 250 hours minimum at submission.

Profile wise, I can see how much you enjoy playing the trumpet. I don't see how you could let it go to pursue a medical career full-time (not completely let it go, but it's not clear you can be comfortable in uncomfortable situations with uncomfortable people without your trumpet). Compare your hours. You are not getting an offer because you play the trumpet though you seem to argue that as your "x-factor" you should be. "Education" is not a good theme here IMO.
