Rush and Loyola looking for far more non clinical hours than you have. You also have several state public schools on your list that admit few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state. I suggest these schools from your list:

Umass

Tufts

Nova

Temple

Tulane

Medical College of Wisconsin

TCU

Western Michigan

Georgetown

George washington

Jefferson

UVM

Virginia Commonwealth

Rosalind Franklin

Drexel

Penn State

Albany

Wake Forest

Oakland

Quinnipiac University

Wayne State

Creighton University

Eastern virginia medical school

You could also add these schools to your application:
New York Medical College
Hackensack
Belmont
TCU
Medical College Wisconsin
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)

You don't need to project 4000 scribe hours. What support do you have from your prehealth advisors?

I believe I only projected 2000 scribe hours which I was under the impression would be a full time jobs worth of hours. Would you advise against including that?

Thank you! Would it be hard for University of Illinois? The OOS accepted students median seem similar to mine according to MSAR.

Would it be worthwhile to apply to Hackensack? I feel as though my stats do not match up to the accepted applicants.

I understand the confusion, I only listed it once on my actual application but wanted to include it in the question because it mentioned gap year activities. My apologies.

Can you afford the non resident tuition ?

Hackensack is worth trying.

Understood. On second thought I will not be applying to them

No, I see you have it listed twice so just clarifying.
