Yes I think you have all the right stuff. Try to find activities you can do for at least a year rather than just 1 quarter or semester. By that I mean see if you can TA again for at least one more time. You have good hours of shadowing but see if you can also find more specialities to look at unless you've already decided on a specific field to specialize in.

As for hobbies, tennis isn't really a specific hobby worth mentioning if you do it so casually. I've noticed that you're in the geology club. That's kind of a blip. Why are you in that just wondering? My advice is to develop your outside interests and pursue them as far as you can.

Overall, the most important factor left for you is your MCAT. You need to get 30+ on it.

With what you have now and a decent MCAT you have a very good shot at many middle-tier schools. Many top 20 schools will be a reach for you though unless you have spectacular EC's.

I think you're doing very well acquiring reasonable, helpful experiences. My only suggestion would be to also shadow a primary care doctor before you apply, so you can see medicine from the trenches.

I think tennis is a good hobby to list. I generally suggest listing all the hobbies in a single space unless one is above and beyond the usual.

Keep those GPAs high; you're doing a great job with the academics.

Remember to study for the MCAT.

Thanks, I will look into shadowing a primary care doctor. I'm planning to shadow more this summer.

I will obviously study hard for the MCAT I just meant because I don't have to take it for more than a year now it's not something I have worried about till now. I will definitely study for it, as I said, I am hoping for a 32+. I really want a 35.
