Assembler
I took the August MCAT, so I know I'm a little late in the game. I have everything on my AMCAS app done except designating the schools. So far, my unedited list has 47 schools. I know at least 2-3 schools can be eliminated off the bat, but I'm not sure what to do about the rest. Is this a good number? I am a California resident, btw. Trying to apply to schools where I'll have the best shot as a nonresident. Anyway, so here goes:
1) USC-Keck
2) Loma Linda University
3) Stanford University
4) UC Davis
5) UC Irvine
6) UC Los Angeles
7) UC San Diego
8) UC San Francisco
9) George Washington University
10) Georgetown University
11) Howard University
12) Rosalind Franklin (Finch)
13) Loyola University Chicago
14) Northwestern University
15) University of Chicago, Pritzker
16) Tulane University
18) Tufts University
19) University of Michigan
20) Saint Louis University
21) Washington University
22) Creighton University
23) Darmouth Medical School
24) Albany Medical College
25) Albert Einstein College
26) Mount Sinai SNYU
27) New York Medical College
28) New York University SM
29) University of Rochester
30) Duke University
31) Wake Forest University
32) Case Western Reserve University
33) Medical College of Ohio
34) Ohio State University CMPH
35) Drexel University CM
36) Jefferson Medical College
37) Pennsylvania State University
38) Temple University
39) University of Pennsylvania
40) University of Pittsburgh
41) Meharry Medical College
42) Vanderbilt
43) University of Vermont
44) University of Oklahoma
45) Eastern Virginia Medical School
46) Virginia Commonwealth University
47) Medical College of Wisconsin
Any ideas on what to cut or what to add? Ideally, I would like 30-35 schools; I still have to do AACOMAS also, and that will be another 6-10 schools on top of this. Money is really not a concern (versus waiting a couple more years).
Background:
My major is in microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics. Cumulative GPA is 3.77, BCPM is 3.68, and non-sci is 4.0. No clue what I'm going to get on the MCAT. I don't really want to jinx it, but somehow I doubt I'll be pulling off 34's and 36's. I'm looking more in the upper 20's.
Any advice is appreciated.

(especially since the going rate around here seems to be $7 per john)
