You should accumulate 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering not related to teaching (such as food bank, homeless shelter, etc) before you submit your application. Remove Rush and Loyola since they are looking for applicants with many hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering. You should receive several interviews from the other schools on your list.

Thank you! Would you not consider my mentorship of an elementary school student and associated leadership to be non clinical volunteering? It’s not teaching, but just being a positive presence for kids that need another consistent figure in their life. Appreciate your input!

It is not the non clinical volunteering that medical schools are looking for.
