You complete lack of shadowing and low clinical and non clinical volunteering hours will limit your chances for interviews at top tier schools. I suggest applying to more schools and consider these:
Carle Illinois
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
Rochester
Pittsburgh
Case Western
Ohio State
Cincinnati
Miami
USF Morsani
Washington University (almost a guaranteed interview with your stats)
Western Michigan
Iowa

Thank you for the help! Since I still have a year until I apply, how many hours of each category should I be shooting for? I plan to work full time as an EMT starting in December to gain some clinical experience, and I'll be able to shadow once COVID gets under control, but how should I target non-clinical hours to give myself a better chance?

50 hours of shadowing (including primary care) is adequate. 200+ hours of non clinical volunteering in service to others such as homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity, etc. would also help.
