Got a C in Ochem

Trying to apply to a state school where average MCAT is 509 and average GPA is 3.76. I was hovering around a 3.7 before this but got a C in ochem and now have a 3.62 gpa. I think I can realistically get it to a 3.72 with a 3.6 science GPA, which is only slightly lower than average. Am I screwed because of the C? If not, what is the lowest MCAT score that makes me a shoo-in for med school. I have like 800 hours scribing, leadership positions on 4 clubs (not president or VP though), 250 hours nonclinical volunteering (food bank, volunteer youth basketball coach, and arabic teacher), 110 hours clinical volunteering, and am a student who is apart of the honors college (which is not that impressive at the institution that I am at). I have no research but my in-state school does not require it or view it as extremely important. Also, please note that I do not mean for this post to come off as pretentious. I am well aware that people have gotten into med school with multiple Cs but I just want to know how much it effects my chances and how much more of a role my MCAT has to play.
