Where is your state of residence and which schools are you interested in applying to?
I'm a resident in California and I'm looking for schools outside of california. Places like Duke, North Carolina, UW, Michigan, schools in Boston, etc.

Your MCAT is the equivalent of 31+.
That is more in line with Tufts, Einstein, Creighton, Toledo or Tulane. Have you looked at the MSAR?
You are not WWAMI, so U 0f W is out.

International "shadowing" does not serve the purpose for which shadowing is recommended.
 
I recommend the following:
Miami
St. Louis
Albany
Rochester
Rush (note: very service/experience oriented with a 150hr service requirement. Avg student has 800 hours of community service, and >1800 hours of health care exposure.)
Rosy Franklin
NYMC
MCW
VCU
EVMS
Wake Forest
Jefferson
Temple
Drexel
Creighton
Tulane
Loyola
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
OaKland-B
Any DO program, starting with Western and Touro-CA.
UCI
UCD
UCR IF you're from the Inland Empire
