You are absolutely not overshooting. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know whether Colombians are considered URM or not. In your case, it almost doesn't matter. The rest of your application and life story is just that good. You've got a stellar MCAT, a great GPA, and decent ECs. And you've come from an impoverished rural area in a different country, and are well on your way to the American Dream. You are not golden, but platinum. Unobtainium, if you're URM. Apply to any top schools that interest you plus your state schools and you are good to go.
