Why Loyola, Rush, BC, Colorado, Tufts, and Temple? Not questioning in a bad way, just curious.

I'd definitely add UVa if you don't mind VA. At the very least you'll get an interview.

are you looking to add more schools or subtract?

Your list looks really random and fairly top heavy. Colorado is too expensive for OOSers. Rush doesn't take make OOSers. Tufts is pretty expensive too, don't know how much you care. If you want to stay in CA, add USC (yes, it's expensive too). I'd probably go with at least 2 more safeties.
