Looks pretty solid IMO. What's your MCAT spread?

Also, are you familiar with Loma Linda's no drinking, etc. policies? Are you URM? Howard is a historically black college (HBC). Also, Indiana has a high IS % if i remember correctly.
 
My spread was 30 (11Bs/11V/8Ps). I was aware of Loma Linda's policies.

Hmm, I'd remove Howard unless you're african american (I think they primarily go for URM??). GWU also I think is one of those schools that receives a million applications, maybe reconsider that one as well.

I think you should add more schools too if you have the funds for it.
 
Yes I will most likely remove Howard from my list. I'm also not sure about Indiana. I'm hoping my 30 with my GPA is good enough to get me in but the 8 in PS is worrisome.
