I've been on the search for medical schools for quite some time now and would love some guidance into what other schools I should be looking into. Some information about me:
State: From Wisconsin, go to school at a private institution in Minnesota (Senior)
Degree: Biology BS, Chemistry Minor
cGPA: 3.75
Clinical Involvement: Medical scribe (500+), shadowing (20+), volunteering in the surgical wing of a hospital and at a children's hospital(100+ hours).
Extra Curricular: Special Olympics Club, Pre-Health Professionals Club, Biology Club Executive Board, School Ambassador, Symphonic Band, Swing Dance Club.
I also work on campus as a Tour Guide, as well as in the science department as a tutor and study group leader for introductory Biology classes. In the summer, I work for a non-profit animal shelter in my area at a kids camp in the humane education department. I am currently volunteering and working as a scribe so those hours will continue to increase.

I took my MCAT in September and got a 505.
I've mostly been looking locally at schools: U of M Twin cities, U of M Duluth, UW Madison, MCW, and other midwest schools. I'm hoping to to MD, and I've had several friends with similar scores have success with this! I'm also continuing to shadow docs.

I suggest:
Wake
GWU
Gtown
MCW (maybe)
Rush (maybe)
Creighton
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
Loyola
MCW
Oakland U Beaumont
Rosy Franklin
SLU
U VM
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
VCU
WVU
U WI
U MN
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me.
 
Personally I would also take a look at
Tulane
QU
Cooper
