Your stats and ECs sound great. List is top heavy, and just to be safe you may want to add some more mid tiers.
 
I would remove GW as they get a huge volume applicants, unless you have good reasons for wanting to attend. As for midtiers, have considered Rochester and Einstein? You could also add Emory if you like the condensed curriculum.

I was considering Emory until I found out they have ABCDE grading, but thank you for the other two suggestions.
 
Geez, zero publications and no LOT from an MD?

I'm just kidding. Your app sounds unbelievable. I imagine you would be competitive anywhere you apply. Best of luck.
 
Nothing wrong with aiming high. I think ECs are great. Suggest scratching UCSF and Wash U and adding Rochester or Northwestern, and also consider Mt Sinai and BU. Maybe U MD since it's next door.

Hey Goro, any reason for removing UCSF from the list? Is it an OOS issue? UCSF is also on my school list, so I just want to hear your expert opinion.

It's a hard one. Hypercompetitive research powerhouse. Hard enough for CA residents to get into (< 20% for OOS ). OP has numbers for UCSF, but I think odds might be better with one less high-tier on the list.

You have a good list, and your ECs are solid. Were those posters at university wide symposiums or at a major research conference?
