1. You double posted
2. Your post is almost impossible to read

Other than that, i think several of those schools are serious reaches for you.

You have a lot of highly-selective schools on your list. I´d take them off and consider adding some DO schools to enhance the chances of success with just one application season. Off course, you don´t have an MCAT score yet, and you can always add more schools after your transcript is certified if you totally kill the beast.

For many of those schools, your gpa is like .4-.5 lower than their median GPA's. This is a significant difference.

Schools like Columbia, Duke, Cornell, U of C etc. are major reaches
