What reputation does your postbac program have upon medical school admissions? Do they keep track of past students/alumni and where they were accepted and subsequently went?

Your community service is lacking. The usual threshold is 150 hours for most medical schools and you would barely reach 100 (which could be the threshold for a handful of schools). Depending on what you are doing in the HIV clinic, some tasks could be non-clinical. But you need more in-person non-clinically adjacent activities such as food distribution, shelter work, job placement services, or housing rehabilitation.

Obviously art and theater are significant to you based on the information provided. In what way do you want this part of your personality be fulfilled as a medical student?

Don’t apply to Rush. Your nonclinical volunteering is very low and Rush expects(and gets) hundreds if not thousands of hours of service to the community. I’d leave the virtual shadowing. You have enough of the in person shadowing. Don’t retake the MCAT unless your are very confident of significantly raising your score. A 510 is okay(not great but okay) and you don’t want your score to go down.
What is your sGPA? I’ve looked and I don’t see it posted but I might have missed it.
DO schools will consider your grad work. MD schools really won’t but might see it and be impressed.
Good luck.

Alabama and South Alabama are your only realistic MD schools with your sGPA and MCAT of 510. Your sGPA of 3.068 is also below the screening cutoff for some DO schools . I suggest these schools with your stats:
ACOM
PCOM (all schools)
NYIT-AR
ARCOM
LMU-DCOM
UIWSOM
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
LECOM (all schools)
MU-COM
TUNCOM
Noorda-COM
