Small comment:
I'm not sure you're in the metrics ballpark (MCAT) for Mayo and Kaiser, but I have to check the MSAR. What draws you to UCLA?

You took time after graduation for more clinical experience, but how about non-clinical volunteering? We lose the timeline in the WAMC format, and what you did lately may be very important.

Yes, I just double checked MSAR and will likely have to remove Mayo. I am interested in UCLA because of their social justice focus, work with diverse communities, and location.

After graduation, I focused on clinical experience and studying for the MCAT. I also increased my non-clinical volunteering with the non-profit, underserved community-focused organization. I have recently returned to volunteering at the homeless shelter and plan to continue this in the upcoming year.

If you don't mind being more specific. What activities have you done that align with this interest?

Definitely got with Faha’s school list, but I believe UCLA may prove to be difficult given your relative lack of hours in social justice involvement. You appear to be more mission-fit at schools that emphasize service and medical care towards the underserved/marginalized populations, which do appear on Faha’s list.

If you’re concerned with general chances of this cycle, I believe your cycle will be successful due to no shortcomings that I could observe on your current application. You check off the boxes at many places, and as long as you have a constant theme and write your secondaries in accordance to the populations that you focused on in your application, you should receive multiple II’s.

I agree with Faha.

Remove Rush since they look for applicants with nearly 1000 non-clinical volunteer hours. Pitt is too much of a reach imo, especially without any research.
