Advice on how to improve application over the next 3 months before reapplication?

🔮 App Review

3.7 GPA (3.6 SGPA) and 518 MCAT. Had 3 II and did not match in TX. Not much luck from OOS (But I only applied to a few reach schools due to wanting to stay in TX for tuition)

Stats:

350 Clinical Hours (EMT and Hospital Volunteer)

300 Various Community Service Hours (Including volunteering at a daycare for kids with autism and a CPR instructor for the rural and underserved)

600 hours research with an honors thesis presentation at my schools symposium

70 shadowing hours at a pediatric clinic and children's hospital

Was a fundraising coordinator for a pre med club and a TA for my Bio 2 professor

I’ve gained a couple hundred hours from my gap year scribe job and will continue working there over the coming months. (Also have been promoted to Scribe Trainer for extra leadership). I will also be applying this cycle with a committee letter and physician LOR which I didn’t have last year. I did sign up to volunteer at my local food bank to beef up my non clinical volunteering but anything else?
