What are you doing to do, knowing you are deficient in hours? What advice have your prehealth advisors at Tech told you?

You can reassign some of your Peds ENT scribing to shadowing if you want

As Mr. Smile pointed out, your hours in non-clinical volunteering are deficient and you risk getting screened out at many schools. I would recommend following the age old advice: Accumulate 150 hours in one of: food distribution, shelter work, job/tax preparation, transport services, or housing rehabilitation.
