What is your state of residency?
Also, activities done in high school don't count - you need some volunteering (clinical and nonclinical) done during undergrad to show adcoms that you focused on more than just academics (dance team and global org are both good - but you definitely need some volunteering in)
You would have a decent shot at top 20, but most of the time it's a crapshoot anyway!

I'm from Mass! And yea, that's what I thought as well, hoping to do some during winter break and next semester before I apply. Thanks though!
