Where in California are you living now (reading that you are non-trad?) and where did you grow up/attend middle and high school?

Hi! I'm living and working in Oakland, grew up K-12 in East Bay Area suburb

Add:

Cincinnati
Ohio State
Einstein
Rochester
Hofstra
Iowa
Jefferson

Be mindful of the mission fit of the UC medical schools, especially if there is a community health focus since I'm not sure your profile fits there. With so many hours in clinical research, you make a statement that you appreciate programs that have a strong clinical research enterprise. The nonclinical community service is a little on the light side, but you probably will be okay.

Thanks so much, I agree I will likely fit best in a research-heavy program! Let me know if I'm missing any obvious choices Thanks

@chilly_md beat me to making sure you added CCLCM to your CWRU application. You already had UCSF, UCLA, and UCSD on your list. Maybe Colorado... they have an entrepreneurship group there. (I would be surprised if you didn't get some attention at least from UCSF if you grew up near the Bay Area and have experience with clinical trials with populations in the region, but it is UCSF.)
