I am looking for general advice, but also a place that can really make me stand out! .

I think you know you aren't ready until you get the 50 hours of shadowing in before you apply. Also, your non-clinical volunteering needs to be at 150 hours before applying to avoid getting screened out, and stronger applicants will have at least 250 hours. If you want to corner geriatrics/elderly as a population of interest, find a hospice position. Show us your cultural appreciation and humility in your activities.
