I just wanted to ask how my stats look.
I go to university of Delaware
Major: Philosophy, Medical Technology
Minor: Biology
GPA: 3.3
sGPA: 3.125
Non-Science GPA: 3.41

I still have to take both Organic Chemistry and Physics

EC:
-10 hrs of shadowing
-50 hrs of volunteering in the emergency room
-1 year worked at ACME a grocery store about 14hrs a week
-600 Hrs of Community service at a Temple as a Lead kids Activity coordinator. We have about 25 kids come every Sunday for 4 hrs.
I also have to prepare during the weekdays for Sunday.
-I just start 1 month ago at a day care as an assistant teacher, working 3 hrs a week. Starting next week I will work as a summer camp Counselor. Working 40hrs a week till end of summer.
 
Your stats are on the low side for both MD and DO application success. Don't let over-involvement with ECs keep you from getting a long string of As to boost your numbers up. Your community service looks terrific, though.

Stats and ECs in isolation, without knowing what year of school you're in and when you plan to apply, don't allow for much commentary. And what is goog? Never heard that slang term.
 
"Goog" was a typing error. I meant "Is this good?" If you want to make "goog" a new slang term for "good" go right ahead.
I just finished my sophomore year. I decided last year I wanted to go into Medical School. I am planning to spend an extra year to get my Philosophy degree,so I will apply 2 years from now.
 
If your grades run between an A and A- until you apply in two years, you can get your GPA into the 3.5 to 3.65 range. This would make you reasonably competitive, assuming an appropriate MCAT score. Median allo acceptee has a 3.66/30.8 with BCPM GPA of 3.6. Average osteopathic acceptee has a 3.48/26.09 with sGPA 3.35.

You've made a nice start acquiring shadowing and clinical experience; keep that going. "Goog" luck.
