It would help to know what my chances are of acceptance. I would estimate around 70%.

Do you mean 70% chance you get one offer, or 70% of your schools on the list would offer?

What's your purpose as a physician? How does this help me make sense of your list?

Add Carle Illinois (you fit their profile) and Washington University (in St. Louis).

Perfect! I just looked at Carle Illinois and I would indeed fit right in. Thank you so much.

As to Washington University, they were originally on my list but I removed them since my cGPA (3.68) is below their 10th percentile (3.75). I believe this was a wise decision, do you agree?

Washington University interviews a high percentage of applicants with 520+ MCAT scores.

I see, thank you, that helps. Could you please link to where you got that info (unless it's from a primary-source e.g. word of mouth)? And by "high percentage" are we talking 10% or 40% or something else?

Washington University offers interviews to almost 30% of applicants who complete secondaries (from MSAR adjusting for those who do not complete secondaries or accept interview invites).

Also note WashU uses a recorded video interview platform before extending an interview (please confirm).

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful responses. I've updated my original post to reflect my submitted AMCAS application.

I'm curious, what do you all think my chances are? How am I looking? How many interviews should I expect? And most importantly... what should I focus on in a potential future cycle?

Highlight your improvements and mission fit again.
