Help with school list

Hi all, I got my MCAT score back yesterday. I was hoping it’d be higher but I am going to apply anyways.

From MA, Female, ORM (but I am first-gen and SES disadvantaged)

Verified already, I am receiving secondaries as of now for the schools below, but I’d be willing to add more schools

Highest recommendation from my school’s med school committee (very highly recommend)

MCAT: 507 (127/126/128/126)

cGPA: 3.95
sGPA: 3.99

Rising senior at a Jesuit college

Biology + neuroscience double major, biochemistry concentration

PREView: 3rd quartile
CA$Per: 5

~ 1000 hours as an urgent care tech / medical assistant at a community health center
- EMT since 2020

~ 1000 hours as a bench top research assistant (no pubs yet)

~ 300 hours as a clinical research assistant at a children’s hospital this summer (pubs to come)
- I get shadowing through this

A&P TA, Orgo 1 TA, Genetics TA ( ~ 240 hours total)

Upcoming co-chairs of Bio SAC and a Biology Volunteer Tutoring Service ( ~ 100 hour each previously)

~ 300 hours hospital volunteer (patient transport)

Volunteer in local community once a day every year on a special build day (helps to plan)

You have several state public schools on your list that admit very few non residents with a MCAT of 507 so do not bother with the secondaries. These schools on your list are realistic:
-UMass Chan
- Florida Atlantic University
- Quinnipiac
- Albany
- Georgetown
- Drexel
- Loyola
- Rush
- Penn State
- Vermont
- Tulane
- Oakland Beaumont
- George Washington
- TCU
- Temple
- Eastern Virginia
- Wake Forest
- MC of Wisconsin
You could add these schools:
Hackensack
Virginia Commonwealth
NOVA MD
Creighton
Rosalind Franklin
St. Louis

That's how many hours by the time you submit? Is this through Habitat?
