You have only 30 hours of non clinical volunteering and some schools screen at 150 hours. What does your 1650 hours of paid employment involve?

summer camp counselor. My clinical volunteering is entirely with underserved communities if that has any impact whatsoever.

Welcome to the forums.

I think your hours are a little on the low side, especially considering your 3000+ hours in your hobby. Your campus involvement is strikingly low, though I'm not sure if that is constrained by working while attending school. I would suspect in-state options would be in play, but I'm trying to figure out why you would be a good fit outside Virginia.
