Your stats aren't bad, especially your SGPA. You shouldn't get screened out at the schools that screen, and if you have good ECs, then that will be a bonus.

Have you considered Kansas City, ATSU, or CUSOM?

which 5 should I not apply to?

Don't apply to LU-COM.

AZCOM....I believe I read that they screen out applicants who have less than a 29 on the MCAT.

Don't apply to MSUCOM. Huge in state bias

Well from what I've heard I wouldn't apply to
LUCOM
Western (OR) - regional bias?
Western (CA) - regional bias?
PCOM-GA
AZCOM - MCAT screen as mentioned

Or if you want to apply to one of those 5, maybe drop one of the schools with higher MCAT averages e.g. CCOM.
