Hello! I'm looking for some advice into what schools I should apply for in this cycle (2020-2021). I'm an Asian female living in Ohio studying Bio at a public university.

cGPA: 3.94, sGPA: 3.91
MCAT: 517 (131/130/129/127)
Research: I have worked in the same lab since freshman year for a total of more than 1400 hours. I have received one summer scholarship for research and a one-year research fellowship. No publications, but I will most likely be presenting a poster for the fellowship.
Shadowing: I've logged 40 hours so far and I plan to add 30 more hours in my senior year if I can.
Clinical experience: I have volunteered at a nursing home for 100 hours for about 2 years, and a hospital for 40 hours before my freshman year. I've also volunteered at a local free clinic for 15 hours
Non-clinical Volunteering: I have 120 hours in a hospital (folding blankets, stocking shelves, guiding visitors) and 30 hours for a local food bank.
Other Activities/Leadership: I worked as a Gen Chem TA for over 560 hours for about a year.

I know my volunteering and shadowing are a bit weak, so I'm hoping to get a list that can suit students like me. I was planning on getting more hours this past semester and summer in the nursing home and foodbank but the current pandemic has made that difficult.
I currently have these schools on my list but would appreciate some commentary on whether they are a good fit.
Ohio State
Cincinnati
Wright State-Boonshoft
Case Western Reserve
Neomed
Mount Sinai-Icahn
Jefferson-Kimmel
University of Michigan
Einstein
Medical College of Wisconsin

You could add any of these schools:
Pittsburgh
Rochester
Boston University
Tufts
Vermont
Hofstra
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
George Washington
Oakland Beaumont
TCU-UNT
NOVA MD
 
Do you think that my P/S will be screened out? It's below the mid 80 percentile for several schools on the list and I wanted to know if that would hurt my chances.
