Medical How's my application shaping up?

[Goro]

Hi! I'm new to SDN and would be grateful for any advice you could give. I didn't want to do a WAMC post because I don't have an MCAT score yet. I'm looking for feedback on my ECs and any holes in my application that you can identify. I'm hoping to apply without a gap year, but am open to taking one if I have deficiencies that can't be patched up in a year.

Year: Rising junior
State: CA
Ethnicity: ORM
GPA: 4.00
School: T20 public undergrad
Major: Cell biology, minors in French and Education

Research: At the moment, 1 mid-author publication in Cell; 1200 hours in one lab and 300 in another
- Will apply with 2000 hours in first lab and 800 in the second. Will be doing a senior thesis during the application cycle.

Teaching-type activities:
- 90 hours as chemistry teaching assistant; will apply with 150 hours
- 50 hours as after school tutor for underserved first graders
- 50 hours employed SAT tutor + 20 hours volunteer tutor for students unable to afford SAT tutoring
- 200 hours employed algebra 2/trigonometry summer program TA
- Will be earning a teaching credential alongside undergraduate degree; lots of meaningful teaching apprenticeship experiences as part of my coursework
- Recently started as a tutor for people who are incarcerated; unsure about the total time

Volunteering:
- 50 hours volunteering through campus religious organization to make sandwiches for the unhoused community, leadership position for two semesters.
- 2 years providing free blood pressure screenings to the unhoused community, leadership position for a semester so far. Plan to continue until graduation. Unsure if the hour count just includes direct volunteering or leadership/planning.
- 20 hours volunteering in community improvement projects, once-a-semester type of thing

Other:
- Casual martial artist. Have held a black belt for years, but don't regularly compete.
- Just started a scribing job. Will apply with 700 hours of experience.

Any insight and feedback is much appreciated!

(Also, I know I'm a meme and don't have an MCAT, but are my ECs T20-worthy?)

Once you get those 700 hrs of scribing, you're good to apply. Don't focus on T20s (of which there are at least 30 schools; focus on getting into med school.

Looks great. Kill the MCAT and the world is your oyster. And if you don't get into a T20, please don't obsess. Amazing physicians come from all sorts of medical schools; it's what you do with the training that matters.

Looks great. When you get your MCAT score come back.

Goal is to get into med school.
