Maybe look into MSU, EVMS, and MUSC. Aso possibly Commonwealth MC in Pennsylvania. I've heard that UCF takes into consideration the performance on a hard science masters, so consider that too.

May I ask which schools are MSU, EVMS, and MUSC? Do they accept a lot of out-of-staters? Also, would it be silly to apply to schools such as UCSF, UCLA, and UCSD with my stats or is there a possibility of getting noticed?

MSU = Michigan State University
EVMS = Eastern Virginia Medical School
MUSC = Medical University of South Carolina

They accept more out-of-state applicants than other public medical schools. I don't see the harm in adding UCSF, UCLA, or UCSD as you are a Cali resident (hey, you gotta have dreams).
