Anything else not listed you think might be important ~1800 hrs working in the medical device industry (2 companies; was a engineering intern for both at first and transitioned to part time during the school year)

Before December, I will study abroad, volunteer with the crisis textline, get more clinical experience at the children's hospital and cancer center, and start a chapter of a volunteer organization at my college. I'll continue being finance chair and safety officer for the dance team. I'm debating if a update letter and applying now would be fine or if I should take a gap year to gain more clinical experience and research experience.

Take the gap year to get more clinical experience.

Several of the schools on your list are public schools that take few to no OOS students (Florida, South Carolina, UNC, Washington, Minnesota, UC Davis etc).
