Thanks for the comment. Do you think I should receive interviews from these schools, or would I benefit from taking a gap year/ MCAT retake? I also wanted to add in a few dream schools like Mount Sinai, Duke, & Columbia. What are your thoughts? Ik the 510 is most likely rate-limiting, especially for top-end schools.

You should receive several interview from those schools and do not need a gap year or MCAT retake. Why are those schools "dream schools" ? Medical education varies little from one school to another.

You should get interviews, but I'm concerned your service orientation activities are still too comfortable. Crisis text line is not in-person, and a lot of prehealth applicants do this activity that it doesn't have the same impact as it did during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is better to find in-person opportunities to use what you have learned such as a volunteer at a shelter. Other service orientation activities include food distribution, job/tax preparation, transportation services, and housing rehabilitation. Ideally you should have 150 hours completed before submitting an application. Teaching, tutoring, and mentoring are all academic competency activities that all premeds do (even with marginalized students), so it doesn't help you stand out.

As a URM/African-American applicant, you must have the HBCU medical schools on your list. Have you participated in any recruitment events or academic enrichment programs for underserved students? Have you found mentoring groups that help Black aspiring physicians prior to starting the application process?

I'm apart of Red Cross's disaster relief volunteer action team, where we do site surveys and things like that for those who get displaced. What are your thoughts on that?

Did you list this activity in your above inventory? Is this somehow under the umbrella of "blood donor ambassador"? What is your impact?
