Loma is a religiously affiliated school - make sure you fit the bill and are ok with upholding their values and code of conduct.

I would consider removing some of the lower programs on your list and aiming a bit higher:
USC
UTSW
Columbia
Dartmouth
Chicago
WUSTL
Penn
UW

Thank you for your input! Would you consider taking out schools like Tufts, Tulane, and Illinois then and adding those schools?

You could remove state public schools such as Illinois, Florida and Arizona Phoenix. Consider adding these schools:
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
Rochester
Washington University ( almost a guaranteed interview with your stats)
U Chicago
Northwestern
Kaiser
