If you are interested in having a good shot at MD then you will need to add more schools. I would suggest adding these schools:

Cooper
Creighton
George Washington
Georgetown
Quinnipiac
Jefferson
MCW
Rosalind Franklin
Oakland
Temple

Keep in mind that Georgetown and George Washington receive lots of applications so many people consider them a reach. If you want to cut out schools from this list, I recommend you cut out those two schools.

You'll need a rocking high MCAT to get into OOS public schools, which favor the home team. You're fine so far for low-mid tier MD programs, and any DO program.
