So I just got my scores for my MCAT and I got a 516 overall.
Chem/Phys - 131
CARS - 127
Bio/Biochem - 132
Psych/Soc - 126

I know the score is a bit unbalanced with my not so great psych score, but do you think this should stop me from applying to at least a couple top tiers? I have a 4.o GPA Neuroscience major and Biology minor.

EC's:
4 years D1 tennis in Big East Conference and Captain my senior year
Leadership role in Student Athlete Advisory Council
150 hours clinical volunteering in ER and Pediatric departments
One week mission trip to homeless shelter
500 hours non-clinical volunteering including teaching tennis, mentoring, and tutoring
Worked as a tennis coach each summer
2 years of research (nothing spectacular, no publications etc.) about 300 hours of research

Current List:
Stanford (Total reach, I know)
Colorado (State School)
Emory
Iowa
Mayo
Creighton
Nebraska
Duke
Baylor
Vanderbilt
Wisconsin
St. Louis
Medical College of Wisconsin
Ohio State
Michigan
Miami
Rochester
Boston
Pitt

Should I cut any out or add any other ones?

I appreciate the help, thanks!

You might want to post this in the What are my chances thread! (Edit: I see you have posted there)

I would take off MCW, it's a low yield school. Maybe take off Creighton.

Add a couple more top schools I think.
(Not an expert :p)
 
I would add more top-tier schools. You can even cut less competitive schools, especially if you can't answer the question "why this school" with a straight face. Although people say that at least 20 schools is good.

Good luck.
