Big plus for all those anes shadowing and ED scribe hours.
What's the breakdown of your GPA? Science GPA?
Do you have your GRE score yet?

My sGPA is around the 3.1- 3.2 range. Forgot to mention this earlier but im a biology major with an MB3 minor (molecular bio, biochem, bioinformatics) and an honors college student. I am taking my GRE next week and and expecting my scores to be in the mid 50th percentile range across the board *knock on wood*

Your sGPA is definitely on the low side unless you were at a top undergrad school that grades harshly.
The best thing to do now is make up for that with an impressive GRE but sorry to break it to you but 50th percentile might not cut it.
You can certainly try and apply to all the programs. You have enough ECs so focus on the GRE this summer and potentially do a retake.
