If you plan to apply to brand-name schools as a high-metrics applicant, you should have 250 hours of service orientation activities (75 more soup kitchen hours) before you submit your application to keep pace with your peers and be viable for interviews.

Your profile doesn't tell me why medicine is your passion/purpose, which is a key to getting interviewed or accepted.
