School List Help

[Premenopausal]

Hey guys, I'm really new to this whole thing and I was wondering if you could help me refine my school list. I think it's pretty top heavy right now, so what could I remove/add in its place?
Ethnicity: White
CA Resident
Will be taking a gap year
cGPA and sGPA both around 3.85
MCAT: 517
Shadowing: 60 hours, different specialties
Clinical Volunteering: 200-250 hours (ongoing)
Research: 1000+ hours with 1 4th author pub
Non-clinical volunteering: I'll only have around 50 hours, as its a recent position I just picked up
I'll be doing some non-clinical work during my gap year which should hopefully boost my application a bit.
I have a couple leadership positions in school clubs, but nothing substantial.

I used one of the websites other than MSAR to help me narrow down my choices, but some of them feel out of reach...This is what came up. Any help is much appreciated!

You should receive several interviews from your list.

Do you think I should drop any?

Columbia, Cornell, Stanford and Perelman are reaches so you could drop those.
