School List -- 3.9+ cGPA/sGPA, 34 MCAT, CA Resident

[sheababy]

Hi,

I'm looking for some help finalizing my school list! I have a subscription to MSAR and I've been going through it, but would appreciate any input. I know the list is top heavy and I'm open to suggestions for removing/adding schools (as well as cutting down).

Undergrad: Top public university in CA
cGPA/sGPA: 3.9+, sGPA a bit higher
MCAT: 34 (12 PS/10 VR/12 BS)

CA Resident

Not to go into too much detail with the extracurricular activities, but here's an overview:
Varied clinical paid work/structured shadowing (through a program): 800+ hours
Teaching assistant/student instructor/tutoring: ~1500 hours
Varied leadership activities (some unique ones) for multiple years, some research, PBK, Dean's List, etc.

LORs:
Decent to strong, feel pretty good about them

I would remove Brown since they really prefer people from their own undergrad, and also maybe GW and Gtown because of the huge volume of apps they get (unless you have very compelling reasons to attend either).

Got it, thanks @Person0715!

Does any one else have any advice?
