I think your list is realistic for your stats. Amazing GPA! MCAT is ok... but below the median at most schools on your list(but those schools do have low median MCATs so they are worth a try!)... You may or may not get in. It will be kind of a toss-up as to whether or not some adcom really likes you. Assuming you are a good interviewer, if you dont get in this year your MCAT will probably be why. I am a reapplicant and still havent gotten in anywhere so tbh it happens. It may be late to start thinking about an MCAT retake for this cycle but could be something to think strongly about in case you dont get in this year. If you can pull all your scores above 10 I think it would be a huge help to your application.


Best,

Alex
