I think you'll be fine with that list, you have great stats and well rounded activities. Your non-clinical volunteering may be a bit low though; you could emphasize your work in the Alzheimer's and Autism organizations to remedy that a bit or volunteer more before application. And you may want to shadow a general practitioner for a few hours just to check the box, as all of your clinical experience is psych heavy.


If you're looking for others to add, consider St. Louis University, Einstein, GTown, George Washington, NYMC, Albany.
