Good stats- excellent GPA and good MCAT.

But what about clinical volunteering? Maybe I missed it, but this can be a serious problem if you're lacking it.

I would scratch Illinois- unless you're interested in paying 75k tuition as an OOSer.

I would also add a couple more safety schools-- you have a lot of top tier schools. Maybe Virginia Tech, Rosalind Franklin, and NYMC. I know there's no such thing as safeties, but you get whatI'm trying to say
 
A few reaches in there (like Northwestern), but I think your list is fine overall. Good luck!
