Right now I have 29 MD schools and 2 DO schools on my list, applying this cycle. Both my sGPA and cGPA will be about 3.5 with an upward trend. I got a 510 on MCAT, Ohio resident. Good EC's, shadowing and volunteering, and a little research but nothing significant. I would like to spend as little $ as possible but give myself the best chances at having multiple acceptances, which I think should be around 15-20 MD schools and 2 DO. Any advice of which schools to drop would be great, thanks! Here is my list:

MD:
Wright State
Ohio State
Cincinnati
NEOMED
Toledo
Marshall
Rosalind Franklin
Drexel
George Washington
Albany
Temple
Loyola
Louisville
West Virginia
Indiana
Wisconsin
Thomas Jefferson
Wake Forest
New York Medical College
Penn State
Oakland
Miami
USF Morsani
Georgetown
VCU
Saint Louis
Wayne State
University of Kentucky

DO:
OUHCOM
Philadelphia COM

You could remove the state public schools that accept fewer than 40 non residents a year such as Louisville, Kentucky, Marshall. If Wisconsin is not Medical College Wisconsin then delete that one. Miami is a reach with your stats as they have instate preference. Toledo, Wright State and NEOMED are where your best chances are.
