I'd be surprised if you didn't get in somewhere, yes of course why wouldn't you apply?

Also, you'd have to take the MCAT as well, how you do on that will change things good or bad.
 
Everything looks really good, except what seems to lacking is clinical volunteering. I would suggest you get to work on that soon and forget about all these honor societies, as they seem a little excessive. Everything looks pretty solid for now. Keep it up man!
