With her stats and what you have given on volunteering, she may not need a gap year. But I still want to know what I asked above: has she taken all the “recommended “ courses? If not, then take those and do not graduate early. Her transcript will matter.
As others have said, she still could use boosting of her clinical experience and she should jump on that now, and continue through the summer and beyond, keep all her ducks in a row just in case it does not work out the first year.

Edit: does her college have good premed advising? Premed advisors with lots of med school applicants at colleges who pride themselves on maximizing med school admissions do not typically mince words. They tell you if you need a gap year to maximize chances. They did that 25 yrs ago and D21s friends say they still do that now. Many definitely get full support to apply without a gap. Others don’t. Your D should ask for an honest assessment .
