Hey, I am submitting my application soon, and I needed some help deciding on some schools. I am a Biomedical Engineering major at a University of California campus. I have a 3.88 Overall and 3.85 Science (Without factoring + or -'s). 23 AA 22 TS 19 PAT (20 Bio 22 OChem 24 GChem 27 QAT 24 RC)
My extracirriculars are:
Intramural sports
health org for 4 years (intern, secretary, now president)
dental club for 2 years
hospital ER volunteering (300 hrs)
Hispanic Scholarship Fund Chapter member for 2 years
engineering society member 1 year
150 hours general dentist shadowing and 20 hours shadowing at Western University's free clinic
I have received an NSF scholarship but I have NO RESEARCH

The schools I am considering are USC, UCLA, UCSF, UofPacific, Western, Case Western, Michigan, Temple, UPenn, Pitt, Columbia, NYU, Maryland, and Harvard.

Any suggestions on what to add or remove?

OP, unless you're a TX resident, I wouldn't add Texas schools unless you REALLY want to go there. TX isn't oos friendly.
I'd keep Harvard on as well

Yeah, applying to Texas schools generally isn't good advice. The TX schools are incredibly OOS-unfriendly.

Keep Harvard.

I like your list, but you have the sort of stats and ECs that allow you to be picky with your school selections. Don't apply anywhere you wouldn't really consider attending. Even 10 schools should be plenty. Best of luck!
