Whatup SDNERs, hope you all could comment on my choices of schools. I know there are a lot of them but I have to apply broadly because of my low undergrad GPA. Anyone have any other suggestons?

As a URM with a great MCAT score and great ECs, I think you're set. Your gpa will hold you back from top tier schools, but I'd say you've got a great shot at all "mid to lower" tier schools. I think your list looks great, actually. And if you want to add some more reaches, go for it (NYU, Columbia, Northwestern, etc.), or even some more mid-tier (Rush, SLU, BU, etc.).
