Greetings!

I would love your input on my school list and overall profile.

Non-trad
MCAT: 35 (BS: 14, VR: 12: PS: 9)
sGPA: 3.9
cGPA: 3.8
Undergrad major: international studies, minors in Spanish and English Lit
Foreign language: conversational written, spoken and reading proficiency in Spanish

Spent three years after college as an AmeriCorps program participant/staff member (educational non-profit), second two years were in leadership positions and all three years were spent working on teams.

~200 hours volunteering with hospice; 4+ hours/week over 15 months

~40 hours shadowing, primary care

Schools:
Tufts
Dartmouth
Boston University
Brown
Drexel
Case Western (Uni track)
University of Cincinnati
Wright State
University of Toledo
University of Iowa
Rush
Washington University, St. Louis*
University of Michigan
Stanford*
Vanderbilt*

*reaches
I've been rejected from University of Chicago and Mayo already, both of which I considered reaches.

I have connections to both Ohio and Iowa, but am not currently a resident of any state (Massachusetts has some serious stipulations for gaining residency, which is understandable considering how many transplants there are and how kindly they treat their in-staters).

Thank you for any and all feedback in advance!

You may want to add a few safety interview schools ( Rush and Drexel are the only ones I see on your list though you could receive an interview at any of the schools on your list). Consider Quinnipiac, Hofstra, New York Medical College, Albany, Temple, Jefferson, Rosalind Franklin.

I see 11 schools where you have a fair to good chance at an interview. That is usually enough. Consider adding a few from @Faha's list if you want to cover your bets.

Add Pitt, Miami and Tulane. I predict lots of IIs. Nothing wrong with aiming
