Revised School List Feedback.

[MedicalProspective]

How's it going y'all! Just looking for some feedback about the schools that I have listed thus far and how feasible they are with my credentials. Would love to know if I should remove some or add some. I have a 34 MCAT (12,11,11) and a 3.9 something GPA. All A's in all of my classes with the exception of an A- in Entomology, B+ in Stats and B in Exercise Biology. These were classes I really didn't take seriously unfortunately. I am a transfer student to a University of California. My letters of rec should be extremely strong. My personal statement should be really diverse and strong. I highly appreciate any and all feedback!
My EC are as follows:

Assistant Manager at a retail store for three years. (3,500 hours or so)
Student Clinic for a year and a half. (200 hours)
Volunteer in a Hospital in two departments for a year and a half. (500 hours)
Board member of the Minority Association of Premedical Students a year and a half. (140 hours)
Co-President of a Cultural Student group for a year and a half. (140 hours)
Student Government Senator for a year. (375 hours)
Community Service at my place of worship kind of all throughout my teenage and adolescent years. (Hours unknown).
Everything else is on a smaller scale.
***Hours are based on my estimate by the time I matriculate.
***Regrettably I do not have any research.

Are you a member of a group that is under-represented in medicine?

I do believe I am. You are actually the individual that gave me feedback on my first list. Since posting this, I've spoken with a friend of mine who is MS3 at a UC Medical School and he recommended I apply to around thirty schools as to play things safer rather than sorry. He's confident in my numbers, but wants me to be extra cautious. He also said since I'm applying as disadvantaged, my options further increase.

North Africans are not generally considered under-represented in medicine.
This may beome problematic for you. Many will view the self-identification of nonsub-saharan as African American disingenuous.
This has become more acute after SLU's humiliation at the hands of Mindy Kaling's brother.

I spoke to the dean of diversity at a UC and she told me to identify with whatever I felt comfortable with. However, when I said I was applying as disadvantaged, I was speaking in regards to me economical status.
