N Dakota is not an AMCAS school and you have no chance there if you didn't go to HS there. WVirginia and Marshall only take regional OOSers or those with strong ties to the area. Dartmouth is somewhat reachy for you, but a dream school is OK to include.

Thank you very much! I will definitely drop those. Dartmouth is my reach school. A buddy of mine was accepted with similar stats so i thought i would include it.
