Why don't you post your list and people will be glad to help you out!

Any shadowing? How about patient contact? I'm not sure gift shop duties count as clinical.

Hi,

For my last semester, my grades dropped and my sGPA dropped by .1 🙁
(because of a low grade in a research class that was worth a lot of units)

I was working on my school list based on my previous GPA because I didn't expect there would be a big change in my GPA. Since my GPA dropped, 🙁 could you recommend me a list of schools I should apply to?

CA resident
cGPA: 3.7
sGPA: 3.6
MCAT: 34 (PS 11, VS 10, BS 13), (1st try 29: 10, 9, 10)

research: 2 years in one lab, 1 semester in another lab, no publications or poster
volunteer:
150 hrs in hospital (1st 100 in gift shop)
2 years cancer-related but not clinical camp counselor
1 year special needs therapy volunteer
1 summer intern at public health office
Just started volunteering at hospice and working with children affected by autism

shadowing: 100+ hours

Your numbers are fine. Apply to some OOS-friendly lower and mid-tier schools in other states too.

Your numbers are fine! A 3.7 is average or a little above average and a 34 is excellent. Tons of people would kill for this!
