FlexMed Chances? Is it even a good idea?

I’m currently a sophomore and am looking to go to medical school. I am really dedicated to becoming a doctor, and I would like to do that ASAP. Furthermore, I have an interest in the humanities as well; I have a knack for social entrepreneurship, and also enjoy public health/epidemiology. Thus, FlexMed seems like a great option for me.

My high school GPA was something like a 3.95
My first semester college GPA was a 3.8 and I’m confident I will get a 4.0 this semester.
SAT: 2220 (CR 770, M 730, W 720), 2210 (CR 660, M 750, W 800). I will likely take the ACT soon and all practices I have done have been >35.

By the time I apply I will have taken
Honors Cal 1/2/3
Honors Chem 1/2 and Lab
Honors Bio 1/2 and Lab
Honors English Literature
Honors Physics 1/2 and Lab
Applied Statistics
Microeconomics
and possibly a few other extra courses.
Also, I have numerous AP Humanities credits.

Additionally,
I have > 80 hours of shadowing various doctors/surgeons,

400 hours of volunteering with at least 75 in a hospital or healthcare setting
I have also done over 400 hours of research and will have a co-authorship on at least 2 papers by September.
I have accumulated numerous science research awards and I feel confident about my chances in Siemens, STS, and ISEF next year.
Recently, I began a non-profit to exercise my skills in social entrepreneurship. I am the CEO of the incorporation which has been relatively successful considering how young it is. It integrates both education and healthcare in third world countries.

My biggest worry about applying is that I don’t come from a HYP level school. I am from the University of North Texas. However, at the same time, I am 16 years old and will be 17 at the time I apply.

How will these factors affect me? Do I have a good chance at the program or would I do better to save my money? Thank you!!

Intel ISEF and Siemens are only for high school students. So I don’t understand how you can feel confident about your chances next year?

I am actually a high school student. I’m in a program called TAMS in which I concurrently take high school and college classes. Thus, I can classify myself as senior in college or as an undergraduate sophomore. I’ve spoken with the admissions office and they have told me that I’m still eligible to apply to the FlexMed program given my unique situation.
