I posted on here earlier in the year. I have taken some of the suggestions and made a school list. How is this current list? Also, I am planning on adding around 4 more MD schools and a few more DO schools and needed help with this.
 
Threads merged.

You can add some more from Faha’s list that was provided such as DMU and KCU. I would suggest a gap year as you have very limited clinical and non-clinical hours. It is possible you will not have a convincing enough personal statement or secondaries.
 
I agree with my colleague because I don't see any significant activities where you really put yourself out there with community service. Your most significant work by hours is a public health ambassador on campus. Do things off campus or without the lifeline of a school club volunteer experience for at least 100-150 hours.
