With your GPA and second MCAT, you're very competitive. I recommend fleshing out your volunteering a bit during this year, but your numbers will get you in the door almost anywhere.

You should be fine at pretty much any school. Also, 3 days of volunteering isn't really worth putting in your application.

If you start a scribe position soon it will beef up your relatively-lean active clinical experience. But you still should add nonmedical community service hours. Tutoring for more than one semester would also be helpful (if not done). If you are ambitious for an acceptance to a more selective, research-oriented school, then adding to your peer leadership would also be helpful (maybe chair a committee for an H for H build in the spring?). The research looks very good (better yet if you have off-campus presentations or posters to list). Shadowing hours are excellent and hopefully include some office-based, primary care time. Don't forget to include hobbies and artistic endeavors among your experiences. Your stats look good, even for schools that average multiple MCAT scores.
