You have about a 70% chance for MD with those stats:

Apply broadly including to HCBUs. Upward trend is significantly in your favor, but 25 is a bit on the low side even for URM.

JH is just throwing your money away. The others don't look bad. Might want to skip Drexel since they get so many applicants.

Others will have good suggestions. Maybe Tulane, Tufts.

No love from Tulane with that MCAT. Their floor is ~29/30.
