You had me up until this.

Where is your service to your community? From your list you want to stay around the Tri-State (why no Upstate schools??), so you should have at least 150-250 hours of some community service (community garden, homeless/refugee shelters, food distribution) before applying just to stay on par with so many other applicants to the NYC schools (or other med schools for that matter). Your activities say "academics" to me, as if your should go for a teaching career.
