Remove Baylor, U of Alabama, U of Colorado, Rush and Northstate(do a search on it)
Even though Duke is rather hollistic and interviews a high proportion, it's unlikely an app with limited research and a well below <avg MCAT will get traction.
If you arent from the IE or went to UG there, UCR shouldnt be on here. Read about Loma Lindas policies espec with regards to drinking and sex before deciding to include it.
I dont consider IU or U of Kentucky terrible choices but you can find better options. Ditto Michigan State.
Keck and a couple of those UCs probably arent going to be very high yield either if you to trim this. Boston U Ohio State and Emory might fall under that category as well depending on the rest of your ECs.
Drexel RFU and GW with their boatload of applications arent high yield options but you can keep them if you want.

If you feel the research exp was meaningful and you got something out of it list. If not, dont. We dont know much really about your ECs but presuming your "ECs sell themselves" like youve said Im counting about 7 schools you could go in saying you have a reasonable shot at getting a II. That number ideally should be doubled. MSAR will help with that. Einstein, Western Michigan, Jefferson and VCU are some to look at.
