They sound about right, but I would advise you to go ahead and submit your applications right now, as you still have to go through the secondary applications.

try tufts, NYU, Pittsburgh, UMDNJ, boston, Midwestern @ Arizona, Roseman (fairly new), and Las Vegas?
 
I think the list seems pretty on target, good gpa, good dat, may as well add a few reach schools...
 
It looks great to me, but I would add just one more school... NYU
 
Have you thought about Nova? Their supplemental app is pretty easy and you definitely have the stats and extracurriculars to get in.

i wanted to apply to nova since it is closer to my state school but I thought nova's last years dat avg was 20 since my dat is on the lower side i am having second thoughts about it.

I think you definitely have the GPA to compensate for your DAT score. The way I see it, if they have an average DAT of 20 then that includes a lot of scores +/- 2 from 20. I have around the same stats as you, 19 DAT and a little below your GPA, and I got an interview fairly quickly from them.
