Do you have any public MD schools in your state? if so, I'd try those as well and save on tuition. Suggest not trying for OOS public schools except for those surrounding your home state. Your list otherwise looks fine. Good luck!

sGPA: 3.85 cGPA: 3.82 MCAT:36
IL Resident, ORM
Pretty typical premed ECs with strong commitment + leadership
Research Experience +2 years (no publications yet but won a grant)

I have 34 med schools and am trying to narrow it down to around 16~18 medical schools. Does this look like a good range of applications?

What do the little arrows mean, is that what you're thinking of narrowing it down to? If that's the case, I would say you are applying way too top heavy especially with your "typical pre-med ECs." UWashington, UMDNJ, and UC Davis are going to pretty much hopeless as an OOSer.
