I think your credentials are terrific, but your SAT/ACT scores are kinda low. You should retake them, and try for the December or January ones. Your scores pretty much line up, so you could take either one.
I doubt they care about subject tests. I applied to a 3+4 dental program with none, and got in. My ACT was a bit higher than yours, but I only shadowed my dentist for a few months.
