That's probably fine, for the most part. It might be a tad top-heavy but not too bad. I'd take off Loma Linda unless you're SDA, though.

You should add University of Illinois
I hear they're CA friendly
although I might be mistaken

You are correct, and so is Rosalind Franklin.

(Side comment: Your community service that blossomed into teaching and leadership over nine years could make you a poster child for an example of perfect community involvement.)

U of Illinois says on their website that their average gpa/MCAT last year was 3.5ish/30 so I think it could be considered a safety, although not as safe as some lower stat schools. Probably have a better chance there than Loma Linda unless you're SDA.

USC seems to be a glaring omission as I think you'd br very competitive.

Very competitive. Only average-ly competitive in CA due to GPA, but state residency can make up for that.

You could add both RFU and UIC.

You SHOULD get into RFU, who knows with UIC. They are all kinds of weird.
