Loyola expects far more non clinical volunteering hours than you have. Rutgers, Stony Brook, Ohio State admit few non residents with your stats. BU is a reach. You could add these schools:
Belmont
NOVA MD
Jefferson
Albany
Vermont
TCU
Rosalind Franklin
Oakland Beaumont
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)

Do you know when Alice Walton is projected to open? I checked AMCAS and it was not there

Some places care more about shadowing than others, but with zero... what activities help you understand what doctors do? Is it just the clinical employment?

Also, service orientation doesn't seem to be anywhere. I appreciate volunteering for arts organizations or working in the library, but you are not in a position where you help larger communities with their challenges in the same way the following categories of activities do: food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation.

Thank you for your input! It has just been clinical employment. As an MA, I scribed for the physician as well. I am starting a new volunteer position soon in food distribution since I felt I definitely could do more.
