Help with school list? Okay numbers (3.91/518), but meh ECs

[Pokepokee]

Hi, long term lurker here. I've been trying to research how to make a school list, but I'm feeling a bit lost on how to eliminate schools because my numbers are okay, but my ECs are pretty weak and I was a transfer student (not sure if this matters). At this point it's rather difficult for me to improve on any of my ECs and shadowing because I'm living overseas and will be here for awhile. I'm on my second gap year right now.

Anyways, I would appreciate any input or guidance, thanks!

Since you are a CA resident you need to add more OOS private schools such as:
Hofstra
Einstein
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Georgetown
St. Louis
Medical College Wisconsin
