Hello. I'm a current reapplicant for the 2021-2022 cycle. My stats are a 3.97 gpa (3.98 sgpa), 515 mcat (131,126,129,129). My ECs are the following:
-scribing (2000 ish hours)
-volunteering at hospital psych unit (200 hours)
-volunteering at a free clinic (350 hours)
-volunteering with covid vaccines (expecting around 200 hours)
-shadowing 6 doctors for a total of about 500 hours
-volunteering at a homeless shelter and an org that feeds the homeless- 200 hours
-minor leadership roles in 3 clubs during undergrad, one of which is a club that tutors refugees
-TA for 2 classes for 2 years (orgo and physics)
-minimal research for 2 semesters (no pubs or posters)
-worked at a tutoring center for a few months
I applied last cycle and ended up getting only 2 interviews out of 25 schools, and ended up getting WL'd at both. This cycle I want to apply much more broadly, so I was wondering if this is a good school list to go with:

I know it's a lot of schools but I'm just worried since I didn't get in last cycle. Any input would be really helpful and much appreciated @Faha @Goro. My cycle didn't go well likely because of my essays which were very rushed because I was in a hurry to submit on time and there were lots of distractions in my life. Also I feel that my ECs are on the weaker side but there isn't really much I can do about that at the moment. And in my school list I had lots of reach schools and out of state public schools that don't take many OOS people, but I didn't realize that at the time. Thanks in advance!
