MCAT might be too low for Penn and Mayo, but all else looks good. You've got some lower tier schools like Drexel, Temple, and Commonwealth on there too so I don't think you need to add anymore safeties.

Thank you for the response; I very much appreciate the input! I put Penn and Mayo just to throw on some reach schools but maybe I'll keep Penn since it's in state and get rid of Mayo to replace it with something more reasonable. Ideas?
