I'm guessing you're a NY-resident! Your list looks good to me based on my n=1 experience (so others can probably advise more), and you will probably get a good amount of love from NY-schools. I'm a nontrad w/ similar stats and had interviews this cycle at 9 of the schools on your list. I recommend taking off UNC because they take very few out-of-state candidates. I also wonder about Wake -- do you have any ties to the area? If you can see yourself living in VA, maybe add Virginia Tech? I was really impressed with my interview there. Also, if you have an interest in rural medicine, you might want to look into Columbia's-Bassett program (you apply to Columbia but check off your interest/write an additional essay in the secondary). http://www.columbia-bassett.org/

Thanks for the reply, it makes me feel better! I didn't know Virginia Tech even had a med school so I'll check it out. I was interested in schools in NC because it looks my boyfriend will be going to grad school down there, so I wanted to keep the option of being in that area open. I'll definitely look into the Columbia program, but I don't really have any idea what specialty I want to go into yet
