What does your non clinical volunteering involve ?

 

[Faha]

You should accumulate 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelter, etc. before you submit your application. Otherwise, you could be screened out at some schools. I suggest these schools if you accumulate those hours:
UMass
Tufts
Boston University
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Albany
New York Medical College
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
NOVA MD
Belmont
Tulane
Alice Walton
TCU
Creighton
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Ponce (St.Louis)
Roseman
Methodist (when it opens)

You'll need service orientation activities: food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. I'm sure being part of a cultural affinity group is important to you, and that may help you with scholarships.

You should have 150 hours of the above activities when you submit your application to avoid getting screened out at most schools. Schools will often average MCAT attempts for screening, but your 511 will likely given more weight. Include DO schools since your result would make you desirable and competitive with them. If you want to stay in the Northeast, you have UNE and NYCOM at least.

Thank you so much for your help and for the specific opportunities!! do you think working in a food bank over the weekends will be favorable, or should i find something more specific and relatable to the rest of my app (my focus is armenian heritage, women, and children)?

Working at the food bank would be ideal.
