Is my application good enough to apply this cycle?

[Throwaway20202021]

Hello! I had hospice volunteering and ESL volunteering that I started up this January, and have around 15 hours for Hospice and less than 15 hours for ESL. I will list the rest of my activities below. My MCAT is June 20th. Assuming it comes back okay, are these activities enough or is a gap year in order to beef up my application? For reference, I am a first-generation immigrant and the only one in my immediate family to graduate with my Bachelor's degree. I am a TX resident applying TMDSAS, AAMCOMAS, and AMCAS.
