Could use some help with the rest. I would really like to stay in the midwest if possible, family is here and don't want to leave during a time when I would likely need their support. Thanks for reading and replying!

Would not suggest applying to GW, Georgetown, or Drexel. Far too low yield. Replace with UVM, VCU, and U Miami
 
U Miami is a slightly above your stats for MCAT but you seem to have a lot going on otherwise. You'll be fine. I'd suggest using Wedgedawg's applicant rating system to create your list. If you do a simple search you'll be able to find the spreadsheet for it!

I will definitely be doing so, thank you!
