What is your master's degree about? How many hours of your teaching are because you were in your master's program/bachelor's program?

Why does your editor/journal do food drives? Why did you shadow for 150+ hours? What does your HIV clinical work involve?

Wow, you're crushing it. Any red flags? I could definitely see you going to a research focused top school. Maybe consider adding Mayo, Carver, and Pitt. Finally, though you may end up at a top school, that doesn't mean only apply to top schools. Spread the love a bit

My masters degree is in Drug Discovery. I did not factor in my teaching from the master's program, I tutored beyond graduating undergrad for about 5 years so all of my hours came from that. Nonclinical -- I did volunteering with a journal to help and edit scientific publications prior to publishing and the also did Food Drive/Clothing drive volunteering.

As for my HIV research, it is based on working with hospitals and PLWH to improve upon healthcare protocols and serving as an intern therapist/volunteer to help with clinical tasks. This falls in line with my narrative of the type of doctor I would like to become.

About 100 hours as an editor and 51 hours as a drive volunteer

OOS MD schools admit few Texas residents with no connection to the state or school because they know from years of experience that Texas applicants will attend a Texas school. You also have only 51 hours of non clinical volunteering and some schools screen at 150 hours. For AMCAS schools you could try TCU, Belmont, Alice Walton, Roseman and Methodist (when it opens).
