I was in my school's honors program so I was awarded various scholarships throughout college. I came to this country at the age of 11 so having gone through the whole assimilation and immigration process has made me particularly interested in working with immigrant populations. I know my MCAT score is horrible, especially CARS, this is the lowest I ever score in any exam. So I would appreciate your input.

South Americans are not generally considered UIM. Language skills are still appreciated, though.
You would be a good candidate for the 3 Puerto Rican schools that consider mainlanders.
You might want to use the MSAR to make a preliminary list using a 27/28 MCAT as a guide.

Thanks for your reply. One more question will the CARS score screen me out automatically?

Schools that previously screened for verbal may still screen you out (depending on final score), but in this transition I would guess that it is somewhat less likely.
