700 hours of tutoring, 100 hours of... community service doing what? You need 150 hours of service orientation activities to avoid getting screened out at most schools.

Does tutoring not count as service orientation? I have a lot more service orientation activities as well under clinical volunteering. The other 100 hours under nonclinical volunteering is when we would go to elementary and high schools to teach them abt Sun Safety. It was a parternship with Dermatology Interest Group at my nearby Med School

Tutoring is a reflection of academic competency (teaching as a subject matter expert), not alleviating others' distress. Clinical activities already have service orientation embedded, but we want to see that you care for people independent of their health needs.
