Online shadowing has very little value so do not include it in your application. I suggest these schools with your stats:
U Florida
Florida State
Central Florida
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
USF Morsani
Miami
Boston University
Tufts
Quinnipiac
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
New York Medical College
Hackensack
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Pittsburgh
George Washington
Your lack of non clinical volunteering will limit your chances for interviews (Georgetown is looking for applicants with many hundreds of hours).
Try and accumulate 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering (food bank, homeless shelter, etc.) before you submit your application.
