Your stats look great! With you applying in July, there is little to improve stats wise. Your shadowing hours aren't high, but you do have a variety of settings which is great for experience & application wise! I'm not too familiar with the schools you are applying to, but I believe you will get into at least 1 school out of your list. Just make sure your personal statement is as good as your stats. and if those schools require interviews make sure you're prepared! Good luck to you!

I was accepted to TWU. Same major. Your pre-req GPA, quantitative score, and verbal score are better than mine. I only did the minimum shadowing hours. I have no related work experience, extracurriculars, or volunteer work. If I can get in, I know you can. Just make sure your LORs and statement are good. I think that's what separated me from other applicants.
