Yeah! Sticky was helpful in determining my overall chances, but I guess my question was more about funded programs specifically, which would be more competitive.
I'm very interested in cancer biology!
Then you'll want to tailor your list around strong cancer bio PhD programs (start w/ NCI designated cancer centers associated w/ top med schools and work from there).
Would anyone mind giving comments on my tentative school list so far? I am a Tennessee resident. I started my list by looking at NCI designated cancer centers, like @eteshoe recommended. Feel free to tell me to add/remove/start over totally.

Does UTHSC have a partnership program with St. Jude?
There isn't a formal partnership. They do have an MD/PhD program, but it is not funded for the medical school years.
Since you're hitting a lot of midwest programs what about UChicago, Northwestern, and UW-Madison?
Would you say that I'm competitive for those?
You're applying to Mayo, Duke and WashU so you might as well
