I have volunteered a total of 380 hours in the hospital at different depatments.
Is there chance that I will get in the MD1 for Setember 2008?
If so, what is the deadline for September 2008?
Also, I will be able to work in NY?

I would suggest you apply early because spots tend to fill up fast. Overall I think you are a competitive applicant.
However, since you have poor MCAT scores, I think during medical school you should work on your test-taking skills and improve on your deficiencies by zoning in on your weaknesses. Your GPA reflects that you understand material well, but your MCAT portrays your inabiliity to apply that material. If you work on that, you will be able to succeed not only in medical school, but on future USMLE and other board exams as well.
Hope this helps.
