School List Help please!

[danceinstyle]

Hi guys!
I am currently freaking out a bit about putting together a school list that covers the right amount of range of schools from all ranks.

My stats are: MCAT 518, GPA 3.97 (from UVA-Virginia resident)
Extracurricular wise, I've got a good number of hours of research (no major publications, but wrote a thesis), clinical/nonclinical volunteering, TA'd, and I was also president of a nonmedical related club. I'm lacking a little bit of shadowing, but I am making it up as I'll be working as a medical assistant in my gap year.

Currently, my school list is as follows:

1. Stanford
2. UCSF
3. UPenn
4. Mayo
5. Wash U
6. UVA
7. Vanderbilt
8. Boston University
9. Upitt
10. Sinai
11. USC
12. Einstein
13. Hofstra
14. MCV
15. Georgetwon
16. UMD
17. Baylor
18. EVMS
19. Rutgers
20. Tufts

If anyone has any suggestions on other schools, or schools I should remove, please help me out!
Thanks so much!!

You have a good list and should receive several interviews. You could add Duke, NYU, Case Western and Rochester.

Thank you so much! Though aren’t NYU and Duke stats much higher?

No, your GPA is above the median and your MCAT is competitive for those schools.

Any other opinions please?

I think your list is good. I would remove UCSF in favor of any other top school, since I feel like its twice as tough to get there as out of state applicant.
