Your non clinical volunteering hours are low which will limit your chances for interviews. Do not add any more reach schools.
You could add any of these schools this week:
USF Morsani
Penn State
New York Medical College
Albany
Western Michigan
Iowa

Non-clinical volunteer: 30 hr undocumented immigrant mutual aid fundraising / 40 hr baking for underfunded school district bdays / 20 hours exercising w/ neurodivergent kids ... all of these experiences have weak hours but I believe I can speak to them well

Fundraising does not carry much weight when we look for service orientation. I'm sure you can speak to why these activities are meaningful to you, but the screeners/rubrics will have difficulty finding appropriate service orientation.

social justice/advocacy: 600 hours global health club (leadership exec member for 1 year)
- 60 hrs at a domestic violence education firm (which catered to healthcare workers)... this is an academic interest of mine I only really discovered late in my undergrad but I talk about incorporating this scholarship in med in my essays
- leadership: 50 hrs as a TA in a gender/psych/anthropology course

Global health club doesn't fit "social justice/advocacy" that well... it's a campus leadership position. Being a TA is teaching/tutoring/mentoring.

You probably will get some interviews depending on metrics, but your chances for securing an offer will be stronger with more service orientation and perhaps more clarity with social justice/advocacy. I find no reason to add more schools.

Sorry, I don't think I explained the global health club well. We were a student-run organization in partnership with a NGO increasing health accessibility overseas. We met with their managers weekly, fully funded two projects, wrote grants, and revised curriculums for their education initiatives. Would this fall under social justice/advocacy?

I have had experiences reviewing similar organizations before. It fits better as campus leadership and fundraising as described. Maybe I'll write about it for a future blog article...
