Hi guys just wanted advice on what schools to add to my list!!!

1. GPA: 3.67
2. sGPA: 3.44
3. MCAT: (Scores need to come in but was hitting about 506-509 on FLs)
4. State: California
5. Clinical Volunteering:
~600 hrs. over 3-4 years (spread out over a couple clinics, 3 of which were in underserved areas)
6. Non-Clinical Volunteering:
~300. over 4 yrs.
7. Shadowing:
~ 200 hrs. over the summer
8. Research:
~200 1 yr. (passaging & poster presentation), ~50 hrs (this study was under the business department were we researched a payment model that could potentially substitute the insurance payment model in primary care clinics)
9. Leadership:
~ 200 2 yrs. (President of the Latino Student Union / Business Club Financial VP)
10. Tutoring/Work:
~200 6 months (I got payed so not sure if I should place this under the employment designation. I have also done tutoring as volunteering at a local high school and for our college)
11. Church Youth Leader:
~400 hrs. over 4 yrs.
12. ECs:
Basketball & Soccer Intramurals ~150 over 2 yrs.
13. Area of Interest:
Primary Care, both of my parents are primary care physicians and have greatly impacted my decision in being a primary care physician so that I can serve the underserved areas of my city.
School List:
UC Davis
UCLA Charles Geffen
UC Irvine
UC San Diego
California University of Sciences and Medicine
California Northstate University College of Medicine
UC Riverside (Top Choice - I'm from the Inland Empire and fit their mission statement)
Loma Linda (Top Choice)

Any advice would be appreciated!
