You need more schools. Atleast 15, but I would recommend 20, you only want to do this process once.

Of those 20-25, 10 of them need to be mid tiers that do not get thousands of applicants, 5-10 low tier, and 5 top tier (emory, NW, Hopkins, Vandy).

Edit: Apply to more top tiers if you'd like, just make sure you still have atleast 10 mid tiers, and 5-10 low tiers

You should add ~6-10 more schools, with stats ranges that are similar to yours. Look at MSAR.

Your stats are great, and your ECs are solid as well. Since you have some pretty high tier schools on your list already, I would focus on more mid tiers (MCAT 33-35).

Nothing wrong with aiming high

Suggest adding:
Loyola
Einstein
Dartmouth
USC
IU
U MI (maybe)
Mt Sinai
Duke
Wayne State (maybe)
MSU (maybe)
U KY
U Louisville
Pitt
Rochester
BU
Tufts
NYU
Miami
Tulane
U Penn (maybe)
Brown
Columbia
Cornell (maybe, suggest swapping JHU for this one)
