Your main weakness is your non clinical volunteering and some schools screen at 150 hours. Accumulate 100+ more hours before you submit your application. Schools such as Creighton and Loyola expect many hundreds of hours of non clinical volunteering. Your MCAT of 513 is not competitive for many of the schools on your list. I suggest these schools with your stats:

Roseman
TCU

Wake Forest

I agree that you need 150+ hours of service orientation activities (food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, housing rehabilitation) to avoid getting screened out. I appreciate shooting your shot, but you need more reasonable targets especially as they fit your leisurely activities. How close do you need to be to hiking and diving as a release from intense studying in medical school?
