Your stats are good enough for many MD schools.
Apply to all your in-state schools for sure and add some more schools in your stat range in states you would want to live in.

I'd like to understand your volunteering activities. What did you do (hours)?

The 150 hours was on the hospital floor assisting nurses and PCTs and pretty hands-on clinically. The 50 hours and continuing is a greeting and comfort at a cancer center, almost nothing clinically just helping out.

Was there any other community service in college (I know you did your Eagle Scout project)?

Through my fraternity there were different opportunities, probably most time spent on multiple Be the Match drives- actively recruited people to join the bone marrow registry, maybe about 30-40 hours on that. Other than that, just various volunteering but nothing with a whole lot of hours

What would make you recommend these schools over others? Is it based on stats or EC hours or something different?

Your stats are in the range for those schools.
