If your MCAT is at least 500 you should receive interviews at MD schools. Post your score here when available and I will suggest schools.

Ack!!!! You have a ton of volunteering hours but the GPA is relatively low. If you nail the MCAT, you have a decent shot, but really try to raise that sGPA whenever you can.

Find mentors who focus on black men in medicine, beginning with SNMA.

I’d suggest getting some shadowing hours with a primary care doc in the USA. It shouldn’t be hard with your hospital contacts.. good luck.

Yes, as long as you submit all your secondaries by August.

I would be surprised if you get silence. Consider Campbell DO as a backup if you want to start in medicine rather than reapply.
