Not applying this cycle, but will do so in the future. What are my chances?
I am a CA resident

Lots of teaching experience -tutored at elementary school
-tutor chemistry for two years at college level. I also teach/lead a chemistry class with approximately 20 students. Time commitment: 15-20 hrs per week. Total: must be approximately 350 hrs by the time I graduate.
-volunteer at homeless shelter. 65 hours.
-research in psychology department for a semester
-shadowed internal medecine inpatient and gastroenterology specialty in an internation hospital. 150 hours.

I feel like my EC's are weak. I really enjoy teaching but I do not have much research experience. How important is the research?
Could someone give me some advice on further improvement?
Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it!
