I’m not the most qualified person to answer this, but I think stat wise, you’re fine. Your MCAT is a tad low and a bit unbalanced in comparison to your fellow comrades, but still, it’s nothing to sneeze at. When do you plan on applying?
 
Yea, you have a shot. I'm sure Faha or Goro will come in later with a better school list than I could come up with...

It also might be easier to list your hours like...
Research- 800 (insert details)
Volunteering- 335 clinical / 640 non-clinical (insert details)
Shadowing-120 (insert)
Clinical- 1,200 hrs scribe
