Hi, I am a rising senior with hopes of going to med school (obviously). I will be taking a gap year in order to gain more clinical experience and retake the MCAT if necessary. With that being said, I have yet to take the MCAT and would like to gauge the competitiveness of my application based on all factors other than my MCAT score and would also like to see what score I may need in order to be a well-rounded applicant. Thank you so much in advance!

No one here is going to say any sort of chance/list without an MCAT. If you score a 500 you would be DOA for MD schools and may be okay for DO schools. If you score a 528 you may be able to reach for T20s, depending on how well you write.

I also wouldn't advise doxing yourself with your full first and last name on the post. Probably better just to delete this in its entirety and try again with an MCAT score.
