You have leadership experience, and have done humanitarian work. You have research experience. You have plenty of sports and other activitities to make you look well-rounded. I'd move Habitat to Humanity to Community Activities.

Your GPA is good, keep up the great work.

If you are applying to be a podiatrist, all that podiatry interning and shadowing will look great. But if you want to apply to medical school [and I'll assume you do, as this is an allopathic (MD) "What are my chances?" forum], you'll need to have a broader experience with sick people, with other than foot problems. You also need to shadow MD or DO physicians (like those in the CV unit where you are now, among other specialties) to show you understand what life as a physician entails. That is not to say that I would not put your current experiences on an MD or DO application, but they need to be balanced by experiences in the profession you wish to enter.

Is it possible for you to do some volunteering in an ER, hospice, or free-standing clinic where you interact with sick people and do things to help them?

With an MCAT of 31, and the above GPA, with the added patient interaction I've suggested, you'll be in good shape for consideration by medical schools.

Everything seems superb, and even overwhelming with so much stuff going on there.

However, there was one thing I noticed, where is your clinical experience (paid/volunteer)?

Everything else is wow though. let me hab some ECs willya.

O my God!! Are you kidding me? you are in good shape. Don't worry just take the MCAT and ace it. Also are you planning to do early admissions? I think you are early admission material. Congratulation on your ECs and GPA.

Good Luck!!!!!!
