Apply to all your Texas TMDSAS schools and you should receive several interviews.

Do you have any other community service that is not tutoring/teaching? You need 150 hours of service orientation activities to avoid getting screened out at most schools (food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, housing rehabilitation). Any advocacy activities?

This piece in the NYTimes is my gift to you. It gives a glimpse of the non-clinical issues that face physicians in 2024 and why, reflecting back on the advice I've given here over the years, non-clinical volunteering with the poor in America is very relevant to the practice of medicine...

It's a great activity, but since you're doing it in India, it could be discounted. Read

I wouldn't say you're cooked but to further bolster things you could always start on other non-clinical volunteering in your local community
