Hey so I'm a junior and want to apply this cycle. I'm a URM and have a 3.85 at top state public school with hopeful 515+ on mcat. However, I have over 1000 hours or different research (genetics, nephrology, cancer) but only 100 hours of shadowing in 1 specialty last semester and practically no other clinical experience unless folding sheets at a VA clinic means anything and hope to get some this more semester (potential vaccine administration). I wasn't really able to get clinical experience freshman year and first half of sophomore before Covid mostly cause I was broke and worked and didn't have a car to leave campus. My goal schools are like Washu and Georgetown who say they are interested in research but I'm wondering if I currently have a good chance or should take a gap year for more clinical experience
