Decent AA but pretty unbalanced, esp. with the bio and OC score. I'm not one to give advice, but I would recommend talking a few other senior members about how this will look, especially given your sgpa.

How do your extracurriculars, shadowing, research and volunteering look? Your stats are boarding average, but if everything else is solid you have a good chance I think. The main issue on your app is the weaknesses with the sciences (Lower sGPA, low Bio and OChem section).

Yah my sGPA is mostly prereqs and I got a C in BioChem and a B- in Genchem 2
My Biology grades were (Bio 1 B+, Bio 2 A, MicroBio A-, Anatomy B+),
Chemistry was (Gen Chem 1 A-, Gen Chem 2 B-, OChem 1 B, Ochem 2 A)

~70 hrs shadowing a mixture of general, ortho, and dental surgeon , ~20 hrs volunteering, 1 semester research, was very involved in the music community (piano player) and won some awards, 3 different jobs (IT assistant, waitress, and cashier)

Hm I'd say you might have a shot at schools like tufts, une, lecom, NYU, Roseman. Only problem is some of the schools with lower stats tend to like a lot of volunteering.
