Welcome to the forums.

Keep working on service orientation, especially off-campus (since you graduated in 2024). I'm not sure you have any: food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. You must have 150 hours at submission to avoid getting screened out at most schools; I'm not sure what you have is satisfactory.

Many of the MD schools on your list are unrealistic with MCAT scores of 499 and 507. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Geisinger
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
West Virginia
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
EVMS
NOVA MD
Belmont
Alice Walton
TCU
Roseman
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Ponce (St. Louis)

Thank you. Doesn't Alice Walton have regional bias though

Thank you. Doesn't Alice Walton have regional bias though

They claim to but I doubt it is significant. Most of the qualified MD applicants from Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma will be attending the state public MD schools.

Here is a more realistic list. You had a lot of donations... they don't need the money. Take your dad out for Father's day instead.

Temple
Drexel
Geinsinger
Penn State
VCU
Rosland Franklin
Vermont
Medical College of Wisconsin
Georgetown
Geroge washington
Wayne State
Albany
West Virginia
