school list help

Hi! Need help with school list-could probably cut this down/swap some. I don't particularly agree with all of these categories but just working off admit

about me:

CA ORM/URM? mark both on forms but technically more ORM

cGPA: 3.8, sGPA: 3.6 (both with upward trend having 3.9s junior and senior year)

MCAT: 523 (130/130/131/132)

HYPSM undergrad (if that even matters)

Will be 2 gap years by time of matriculation

ECs:

- Full time employment in 1st gap year: Teaching position at university, decently well-regarded position >1200 hours

- Research: >1000 hours in clinical research, underserved population, 2 national conference posters, undergrad honors thesis (unpublished)

- Clinical: around 250 hours? (120 hospice volunteer, 50 hours with clinical research participants/patients, 80 at local hospital volunteer) (my weak point I know-trying to get full-time MA job for 2nd gap year)

- Non-clinical volunteering: (~160?) 70 hours with arts/disability nonprofit (only started last year but very meaningful and took on a lot of responsibility), 30 hours miscellaneous health community outreach with a club, 60 hours coordinating mentorship program for high schoolers underrepresented in medicine

- like 80 shadowing hours across a few specialities

Other jobs throughout undergrad

- TA for upper div bio course (150 hours)

- public speaking tutor (200-250 hours)

- resident assistant (RA) for 2 years (very meaningful not just an enforcer but dealt a lot with community, emotional support, crises) - 720 hours

- barista (summer before and after freshmen year) - 300 hours

Other activities

- 4 year involvement and leadership in premed club ~360 hours

- student theater group involvement (very big part of my life, both performing in shows and directing/staffing, also on the board of one org)- 580 hours (at least)

Thanks in advance!
