I have already started the application and am just wondering what my chances are this cycle?
cGPA: 3.75
sGPA: 3.75
AA: 20
TS: 20
PAT: 18
QR: 21
RC: 19
Bio: 19
GChem: 22
OChem: 20

200 hours volunteering at a free dental clinic
200 hours volunteering at the boys and girls club
110 hours shadowing dentists
3 Years in pre-dental club(1 yr member/1 yr small leadership role/1 yr president)

Also am Pakistani so I don't know if that helps?

Does that look good? I feel like my academic stats are in good shape but I worry that my extra curriculars are lacking, because I see tons of people with like 1000 hours just volunteering and that's crazy.

You'll be fine.

1000 hours of ECs aren't really *that* outrageous if you space it out over 3-4 years. However, most people have a number lower than this--and for most, it isn't just volunteering hours.
 
You are an average to above average applicant and have an average to above average chance of an acceptance to any one school, barring other considerations.
 
You're in a decent shape, but you aren't a "wow" applicant. However, you are definitely on the above average end of the spectrum. The best advice we can give you is to apply broadly and do well on your interviews.
