Very good so far; keep up the food bank and some clinical volunteering.

Welcome to the forums.
Do you have some commitments for strong letters yet? How much more do they want from you?

How will this change if you tack on a research project? You say you have 3 projects going so it doesn't quite sound like you have a thesis project selected.

I don't have a thesis project yet. One of the labs I only worked 20 hours at, the other 80, and the third 300 (summer program). I have some relationships with professors, but they could be stronger. Is doing 10 hours/week of the Crisis Text Line worth it?

Do 10 hours/week at a soup kitchen instead.

Impressive. But you’re involved in too much. Quality over quantity. Having a bunch of activities under 100 hours doesn’t convey much. And I imagine you’ll take the MCAT during your junior/senior year which will end up being its own extracurricular activity….
