Hey guys, these are my stats:
cGPA: 3.6
sGPA: 3.6
Old MCAT 34 (12/10/12)

Work/Activities
Research ~800 hours, 2 independent projects
ER Scribe ~200 hours (started this past April, intend to continue until starting medical school)
Volunteer tutor ~30 hours
Hospital volunteer ~100 hours

This is my list so far (NJ Resident):
NJMS
RWJ
Cooper
Drexel
Tufts
SUNY- Upstate
SUNY- Downstate
Stony Brook
Sidney Kimmel (Thomas Jefferson University)
George Washington
Temple

I'm really just looking for additional schools that would be worth looking into with my stats and if my list so far is practical. Thanks.

You're applying next cycle, right?

Consider WVU, Georgetown, Albany, NYMC, Loyola, Rush, Rosy Franklin, EVMS, VCU, Vermont, Hofstra, Tulane, Penn State, and Western Michigan.
For slight reaches consider USC-Keck, SLU, Case, Einstein, etc.
I'd cut SUNY Upstate, Downstate, and Stony Brook as the NY schools probably won't be open to NJ resident OOS applicants.

Edit: Do some shadowing and add some more volunteering before you apply too.
 
Solid stats and good activities. You have a pretty good chance at RWJ and NJMS.

I'd probably cut Upstate, because they accept less OOS students than SB or Downstate. Hofstra may be a better addition than Stony Brook, because your stats are more in line. I would add 5+ more schools to your list though.

Consider: Einstein, Hofstra Albany, Rochester, Penn State, BU, Vermont, VCU, VaTech

You should add more schools to your application. Consider these where your stats are competitive for an interview:
Quinnipiac
Vermont
Albany
New York Medical College
Einstein
Hofstra
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
St. Louis
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
 
Hofstra
Albany
NYMC
Pitt (maybe)
VCU
EVMS
Rochester
Gtown
Netter

If staying close to home is important, then consider Rowan, NYITCOM and Touro-NY. I think SUNY-Upstate will be low yield.
