With an MD goal in mind, for you, getting As is essential to redeem your GPA. Every B you earn will set back your improvement plan. IMO you are more likely to end up being competitive if you decompress your timeline and add an extra year, commit to a lower courseload each term, develop your ECs over a longer period of time, and allow for some dedicated MCAT study time for 2-3 months with no distractions.
Besides clinical experience, shadowing, and research, nonmedical community service, leadership, and teaching/tutoring/TAing/mentoring/coaching are all areas that would strengthen your application to any med school.
