All honest feedback will be much appreciated! I am super nervous and I am really determined to get in this time around.

In my opinion you have a great chance of getting in somewhere. While your prereq GPA and GRE scores aren't the highest, all your extracurricular/varied observation hours/and good lor's should more than make up for it. My prereq GPA was actually a bit lower than yours, but I had some good observation hours and extracurriculars to talk about during the interviews. Experience goes a lonnnnng way, schools want students with people skills and experience as much as they want 4.0 bookworms. Best of luck to you this time around!

I would retake the GRE, then your chances will be really good as long as you apply to enough schools

Hi! I was Community Health at UIUC and we have very similar stats; I'm applying to a lot of the same schools. Just wondering what schools you ended up being accepted to?

I read these stats posts all the time, and they all look exactly like yours...except for the landscaping part. That alone is already making you stand out! What about landscaping though? I would say ABSOLUTELY keep it!
