Remove Drexel, Wayne State and Temple since they will"yield protect" with your stats. You should receive several interviews from the other schools on your list.

Assuming you're able to convey your experiences well both verbally and in written form, you could probably remove 10-15 schools. It's interesting that you've included nearly every school in New York except Columbia. I'd pick your favorite SUNY and remove the other SUNYs unless you have strong feelings otherwise. Georgetown could come off your list too.

If you don't mind the expense and time commitment associated with writing 35+ secondary application, then you can certainly keep your list as though. I'd recommend prewriting secondaries in that case.

You'll likely do well.
