U Washington accepts less than 1% of applicants who are not from states in the Northwest. U Chicago, U Penn, UNC are far reaches with your MCAT. I suggest adding these schools:
Michigan State
Central Michigan
Western Michigan
Toledo
Medical College Wisconsin
St. Louis
Creighton
Jefferson
George Washington
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
NOVA MD
