CA residents have difficulty getting accepted to their state schools due to the large number of qualified IS applicants. Add some "safe" OOS private schools such as:
New York Medical College
Hofstra
Quinnipiac
Jefferson
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
St. Louis
Tulane

 

[Goro]

Add Emory, Duke, Rochester, NYU, Pitt, Vandy, U AZ, U CO, U VM, Einstein and BU

Consider Loma Linda, if you are religious. Be sure to look at the student handbook first, though.

Add UCI (i'm assuming you forgot)

UCR is biased towards inland empire tho you are above their averages.

Would axe georgetown unless you have very compelling reasons to go. They get >10k applicants and it's a bloodbath.

Would axe UCD unless you have demonstrated commitment to serving surrounding area/primary care.

In general would axe more UC schools in favor of out-of-state schools but that may be because my experience was so much better OOS vs in-state.

Would add Jefferson if you like Philadelphia.

Would add @Goro 's schools with the exception of Rochester (mandatory attendance) and Vanderbilt (secondary cutoff was much higher than your stats this year, and I don't think your EC would cut it for "holistic" review but could be wrong.)

Would also add any school you feel you have demonstrable/convincing reasons for attending.

Vandy's 10th%ile for MCAT stretches down to 33 and GPA to 3.6, so OP is in strong striking distance.
