Your experiences abroad will probably be discounted as medical tourism and not counted. Your clinical experience is good (could have more clinical volunteering) and your GPA is ok, but without an MCAT score it is very hard to say. A 30 on the old MCAT is a 509 which is good for many lower tier MD's but needs to be higher for mid-upper tier MD schools. It is fine for any DO school.

Wait, I thought a 509 was closer to a 32

No, I believe a 32 is a 511-513ish (somewhere in there, I am not 100% sure what number correlates for sure)
