While applying now is certainly a bit later than ideal, I would hardly consider it late in the cycle. Submit your primary application as soon as possible as it can take a few weeks to get verified, and while you wait I would recommend that you start pre-writing your secondary essays.

School list:
  • University of Vermont
  • University of Rochester
  • University of Massachusetts
  • University of Cincinnati
  • Ohio State
  • Hackensack Meridian
  • Sidney Kimmel
  • Eastern Virginia Medical School
  • Virginia Commonwealth
  • University of Miami
  • Indiana University
  • Wake Forest
  • University of Iowa
  • UCLA
  • University of Illinois
  • Rosalind Franklin
  • Rush
  • SLU
  • Western Michigan
  • University of Michigan
  • Wayne State
  • Ponce (St. Louis)
  • University of Colorado
Feel free to add an additional 5-10 MD schools if you want.

DO programs:
  • PCOM
  • UNECOM
  • NYIT-COM
  • KCU-COM
  • AZCOM
Add 1-3 additional DO programs.

I think you stand a great chance of being admitted with your background and school list. Good luck!
 
You haven't lost that much but submit your primary application/s soon. You are a touch short on service orientation activities (120 hours food bank); ideally you should have 150 hours before submission. We'll see how it goes; at this point, it's up to your mission fit.

Could my volunteering as an activity aide be counted as service orientation? To give some context, the school takes care of intellectually disabled individuals during the work day, all year round for no cost. The families they help are low-income and rely on their services in order to be able to work and provide for their families. Additionally, if I am on track to complete ~30 more hours at the food bank by the end of the summer, would it be considered? Or would it have no value as they are predicted hours?

Thank you so much for the help!

Thank you so much for the school list recommendations! I figured it isn't too late in the cycle, but I suppose I freaked out after spending too much time on reddit lol. I definitely plan to pre-write secondaries with the goal of submitting as soon as I get them, so hopefully that keeps me on track.

Also regarding my school list, would it be a smart idea to add Loyola? I know I don't have a high number of service hours, but I believe the hours I do have are meaningful. I wanted to apply to as many in-state schools as possible, but please let me know if its a bit unrealistic.

Do what you can to keep going with your food bank activities. I recognize the primary application is just a (significant) snapshot. Have something in your quiver for updates. Loyola prefers more service-oriented hours at submission (like hundreds more).

I consider communities separately from actions, so you are okay with low-income disabled communities with me.

With almost 400 hours of volunteering and a few hundred hours doing Title IX volunteering, I don't see why you can't apply to Loyola.
