Issue one: learn to post only once.
Issue two: Nobody cares about your High School accomplishments unless they involved a Nobel or a Pulitzer.
Issue Three: Relax, your GPA is fine. And wait until you see your MCAT scores, which will tell you a lot more of where/if you should apply. Keep up the extracurriculars and start thinking about your letters of recommendation.

Yeah the general consensus here and from my advisor is to keep HS off the work/experience section of the app. But one idea that could work is mention it (briefly) as a very early indicator of your interest in medicine in your personal statement.

Above posts are right. Unless you want to make some mention of it in your personal statement or secondary essays, high school stuff pretty much stays out.
