My sGPA is 3.47, cumulative 3.63, MCAT 518 (131/129/130/128)

My current list of 24 schools listed alphabetically:

Albany
Brown
BU
Colorado
Creighton
Emory
Georgetown
Hofstra
Jefferson
Loyola Chicago
NYMC
Oakland- William Beaumont
Quinnipiac
Rochester
St. Louis
Temple
Tufts
Tulane
UConn
UMass
VCU
Vermont
Wake Forest
Medical College of Wisconsin

I'm trying to apply pretty broadly. I'm unsure if less competitive schools would throw away my app because of my MCAT score. I'm unsure how my low M/S GPA will affect my odds. I have a good positive trend with GPA and plenty of research/clinical/volunteering. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Where is your state of residence ? Do you have any physician shadowing or clinical volunteering hours ?

I don't have any state schools to apply to. I've shadowed about 30 hours plus over 500 hours paid-scribing in the ED. I have about 300 hours clinical volunteering in US and abroad.
 
You have a good list. Schools such as Colorado, UConn and UMass accept few non residents with no connection to the state and your GPA. Consider adding these schools:
Seton Hall
Drexel
George Washington
Eastern Virginia
NOVA MD
Western Michigan
Rosalind Franklin
