I would get rid of UCLA, UCSD, Dartmouth, and some of the in-state schools you're OOS at and replace them with DO schools. The 36 is nice, but a 3.5 GPA makes those places low-yield.
I'm pretty sure all of the OOS schools that I'm planning on applying to are private schools (with the exception of UAB). But I'll have to check that again.
I'll definitely take Dartmouth, UCLA and UCSD off the list. I feel uncomfortable not applying to so many of my in-state schools (UCLA/UCSD were supposed to be my dream and reach schools) but you're probably right that those would just end up being donations.
