Competitive. Pretty solid trend. They like to see improvements, which you are able to demonstrate. Go rock those interviews, stay humble and confident.

You really need to cut that list down. You could delete half of them easily. Start with schools that strongly prefer IS or strong regional preference (e.g. U of W, OHSU), and school where you are at the extreme for the 90th percentile MCAT (RFU), and places that get more than 10K applications (e.g. Drexel).

Thank you!! I will definitely apply to those schools you listed. I am considering also adding CNU (back up in CA), stony brook, NYMC, Baylor or Michigan, and maybe Colorado to your list. I will probably pick one between Baylor and Michigan as they both seem like reach schools and I think your list has a lot of reaches already given my stats.
Which would you recommend me to add between Michigan and Baylor? Also, do you think these other schools I am considering are worthwhile additions or should I not bother?

Delete CNU. You will not be eligible for federally insured loans or payback mechanisms at CNU. You are a good candidate for the CA schools as well as several OOS.
