  • Boston University
  • Keck
  • Thomas Jefferson
  • University of Pittsburgh
  • Tufts
  • Albert Einstein
  • University of Maryland
  • Tulane
  • University of Colorado
  • USF
  • Pennsylvania State University
  • VCU
You could add these schools:
Rochester
Case Western
West Virginia
Cincinnati
Hofstra
 
Why are the California schools your dream schools? Do you have any connections out there? Have you networked with students or admissions recruiters out in California? Sure, your GPA/MCAT key may open a few interview invitations out there, but it's a relatively high cost of attendance that will add to the expected debt you'll have to carry.
 
I agree with the above posts. I don’t think your app is quite competitive enough for T10’s like UCLA/UCSF/Cornell/UPenn as an ORM applicant. U of A also has way too much IS bias.

However, I actually think 25+ applications is a good number. My buddy applied with a 518/3.9 to 18 schools and is still sitting without an acceptance. He had 7 interviews so nothing was wrong with his app. He just applied and interviewed at schools like U of A and Baylor that do not accept many OOS students.
