Keep adding to your clinical and food pantry hours. Having more physician shadowing may help a bit, but your success is going to depend on your purpose as a physician.

I would urge you to have an AACOMAS application ready if you get no interview invitations by end of September: submit to Rowan DO, PCOM, NYCOM, Duquesne, D'Youville, VCOM, LECOM at least. You may be appealing for DO programs, so don't waste another year if you are serious about starting medical school next summer.
