Congrats on the numbers! Seems like the sky is the limit for you, except the extreme research-heavy schools.

Also see if you can do some shadowing! I think the general consensus is that High school shadowing generally does not count, unless it's significant in terms of hours. Doesn't hurt to put it on there though, since you probably do some "shadowing"/procedure watching during hospital volunteering.

Good luck!

100% concur.

If money isn't an issue, then add all of the maybe's if you want. You have a strong application (though I don't know if your Eagle Scout stuff counts as non-clinical volunteering during college?). Your instate schools should provide the "safer" options (I'd add all the Texas schools). Your current list is fine though.
