I didn't see any physician shadowing, but I'm sure you have that/plan on doing it!
If CA is your state of residence, your GPA will hurt, just do your absolute best on the MCAT! For my year the rule was >510 was golden, nowadays I feel like it might be a little higher.
Your ORM/URM background makes a huge difference as well (You can peak the admissions data to see an approximate % of your odds based on a breakdown of GPA/MCAT aligned with the other factors).
Your ECs are great, though!
I think you're headed to medical school
