School list for re-applicant

[dedicated1989]

Based off of MSAR a complied a list of 30 schools that I think I have a shot at - this is based off of GPA, MCAT and missions. I put a "?" next to schools where my chances may not be as high given certain situations (financial, social, public vs private, etc). I would love to get some feedback on those schools if anyone has some to share.I am also not opposed to applying to more schools.

Basic stats:
-Went to state school with a full scholarship
-graduated with a 3.59 GPA (science and overall).
- got an MS from Mount Sinai in NY with published Masters Thesis work; graduated in 2013 with a 3.5 GPA
- 2 publications ...1 first author
- Several shadowing and volunteering experiences
- ER scribe with ScribeAmerica
- Highest and most recent MCAT score of 29 (VR: 8 PS: 9 and BS:12) (as an additional piece of information I've taken the test a total of 4 times - 2 of those scores are expired)
- strong LORs from MDs, DOs and PhDs


Possible schools in no particular order:

MD:
Drexel University
Frank H. Netter Quinnipac University
Howard University (?)
Temple University
University of Maryland
Eastern Virginia Medical School
Western Michigan university (?)
Commonwealth Medical College
Chicago Rosalind Franklin

Ideally, I'd like to cut this list down…which I am sure is possible with schools that average MCATs and such. If anyone knows specific schools that average MCATs please let me know. Thanks!

Apparently gaining acceptance into New Jersey medical schools as an oos is ridiculously difficult. Don't know if you'd want to take your chances with those.

I would keep Rowan SOM on the list, get rid of RWJ. Not sure about Cooper. Rowan SOM has avg MCAT 28-29, and it's a great school. Good luck
