Add NYU and UVA. Also add Washington University (almost a guaranteed interview with your stats)

The Washington University in St. Louis?

Yes.

Could add in rush or Pritzker if you wanted to stay close to home - though both are fairly service heavy schools (Rush moreso, but BU/Loyola, which are on your list, are also very service oriented)

I wouldn't say WashU is a guaranteed interview with a 3.88/520, their median stats are like a 3.95/522 from what I recall

Washington University offers interviews to ~1/3 of applicants who complete secondaries. They are interviewing few of those applicants with sub 3.7 GPA or sub 515 MCAT.

Yeah I heard that. I did talk about service a lot in my activities and a bit in my personal statement, and I tried to do a bunch while being a full time student. I'm testing my luck with BU/Loyola, but I heard Rush is on its own level in looking for service-oriented applicants.

Rush is. They expect hundreds , if not thousands, of service hours fromtheir applicants and they get them.

If it helps to know, I did interview at a handful of service oriented schools mentioned (BU, Loyola, UChicago, Rush, Georgetown, SLU, etc.) and had ~800 hrs volunteering hrs upon time of applying (clinical + non-clinical)

edit: I think those schools in particular like service-oriented apps. Some may care more about the actual # of hours, but I got the sense from their interview days that they wanted students who were invested in service. That's not to say they won't interview you if you don't have a lot of service - I know people who have gotten an acceptance into those schools without a ton of service.
