What feedback has your prehealth office given you? Are you going through the committee process?

Some scribing (50 h) can count as shadowing unofficially, but you really should have done the other shadowing before now to improve your committee evaluation. What advice were you given at your Sophomore Check-In?

Also all of your nonclinical volunteering is tutoring, which is an academic competency. It doesn't show any service orientation, so you are at risk of being screened out. Every premed seems to tutor low income students so it won't help you stand out. It makes me wonder why you don't want to teach.

You have several state public schools on your list that admit few non residents with your GPAs and no connections to the state.
Rush, Creighton, Loyola and St. Louis expect far more non clinical volunteering hours than you have.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
