Do you have shadowing? Clinical experience? Volunteering? Work experience? Leadership? Any other ECs?

Depending on your answers to the above questions, your odds of acceptance are somewhere between 0% and 100%. If you want advice, you need to give us more information than just your stats.

100+ hrs Homeless Clinic/ Hospital Volunteer

Your shadowing looks good, and clinical experience is decent. The two short foreign medical trips are irrelevant (in terms of helping your application), since adcoms see those as a way to pack lots of volunteer hours into a short amount of time, while going on a vacation.

If I were you, I would maybe try to get a little more clinical experience and some non-clinical volunteer hours.

With a science GPA < 3.5, and non-stellar ECs, your odds for the CA schools arrn't great. Apply broadly, including lots of mid to lower tier OOS private schools.
