Usually a single great year isn't enough to be convincing of reinvention, but a 520 MCAT score is nothing to sneeze at.

Suggest looking at MSAR Online and targeting schools whose median GPAs are closest to to yours, especially if you're > their 10th %iles. Pay very careful attention to the IS/OOS ratios.

Yes, Americorps counts for nonclinical ECs. Your ECs are killer. Hence, of the listed schools on this page, I think your chances are very good.
