MD Reapplicant seeking feedback on reworked school list (3.8/33)

[M.MD]

Thanks for reading. I've posted this topic before but I've changed up my school list a bit since last time. I'd like to think this is close to being finalized but I'd like some more feedback.

Application summary:

• ~3.8 GPA
• 33 balanced MCAT
• Above average ECs. Research and tutoring focused but I do cover all the bases. Maybe a little weak in non-medical community service compared to the rest.
• CA resident
• Non-URM, not disadvantaged, but I do have a unique background that I think makes me stand out.

Here's the list. 33 schools in total. Schools marked with a "*" are schools to which I'm reapplying.

"Safety" schools (I use that term loosely)

• Quinnipiac (Frank Netter)
  University of Arizona Tuscon
  Oakland University
  Virginia Commonwealth
  George Washington
  New York Medical College
  Albany*
  Eastern Virginia
  University of Arizona Phoenix
  Medical College of Wisconsin
  Penn State
  Jefferson
  UC Davis*
  Creighton
  University of Vermont
  Georgetown
  University of Miami (Miller)
  Hofstra

Match schools

Looks like a pretty good list, you could probably add Davis to the list if you're interested in going there, also USC.

If you like Jeff, look at Temple too.
