I am only an applicant but I would highly doubt you need a gap year. Your clinical volunteering sounds like it will be in a good spot by the time you apply, shadowing is not that low, only thing that is perhaps weak is non-clinical volunteering but even that isn't prohibitively low. As long as your essays and letters are on point would be kinda stunned if you weren't accepted at a very prestigious medical school. Don't think many adcoms will be able to resist the ultra high-stat, outstanding research, prestigious undergrad, D1 athlete package.
 
You are fine to apply next June and I suggest these schools:
UMass
Boston University
Tufts
Harvard
Dartmouth
Brown
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
NYU
Columbia
Cornell
Rochester
Pittsburgh
Case Western
U Virginia
Duke
Emory
Vanderbilt
Washington University
Northwestern
U Chicago
U Michigan

Thank you! Definitely working on getting the clinical hours in (not too hard because I enjoy them). Best of luck this cycle!

Thank you! Did you suggest primarily Northeast schools for the regional ties and if so, how critical are those to success? (I wanted to apply to Cali schools because I eventually want to live out west).

UMass, Tufts and Boston University all have instate preferences to varying degrees. If you want to live in the West Coast you could apply to Stanford, UCSF, UCLA, Kaiser and USC Keck.
