Welcome to the forums.

Please complete the WAMC template properly. Your chances are not determined by your hours, which, by the way, are badly imbalanced for a high-metrics candidate. You are also judged on your professionalism, which, with this post, does not reflect well.

What is the nature and breakdown by hours of your clinical and non clinical volunteering?

We welcome you and thank you for posting for the first time. But that doesn't mean you haven't seen other WAMC profiles as examples. Sort of like looking at example PS before you begin writing.

The purpose of this forum is to

If you don't provide the details, we can't help you. You might as well give me your height and weight and ask if I think you'd be a great doctor. It's more than just metrics.

I would avoid turning any WAMC profiles into the Spanish Inquisition or the game of 20 questions.

What do those 100 hours of non clinical volunteering involve?

Food bank/soup kitchen volunteer

 

[Mr.Smile12]

What about your clinical experience? What shadowing specialties? Campus leadership in only one club?

Accumulate another 50+ hours at the food bank since some schools screen at 150 hours. Some of the schools on your list will "yield protect" with your stats.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
NY:
Albany
Albert Einstein
Hofstra
Sinai
Stony Brook
SUNY Upstate
SUNY Downstate
Buffalo
Rochester
NYMC
Cornell
Columbia
NYU

Others:
UPenn
Vanderbilt
WashU St. Louis
Pitt
UVA
Yale
Brown
Tufts
Emory
UChicago
Northwestern
U of Michigan
Case Western
Cincinnati
Ohio State
USC Keck
USF Morsani
Duke
Mayo
UCLA
UCSF
Hackensack
Sidney Kimmel
Colorado

Clinical experience is hospital volunteering only

Shadowing in primary care, oncology, radiation oncology

Campus leadership in the community service club and also another random honby club but unique i guess (sorry I would give more details but dont want to doxx)

Your campus hobby club is the ONLY one throughout the United States? Even pickleball had a quick adoption rate.

Maybe not "unique" but relatively niche
