You're in a very good position.

Don't apply to LUCOM. Add in NSU and KCUMB.
 
You're fine for those schools. The 7 VR won't stop you at all. My MCAT was lower w/ a 7 and no one questioned it.

I got a (11,8,11) and I would rather have your score. I think high sciences help committees overlook low verbal scores.

You could have done a lot worse, be proud.
 
you'll be fine. LUCOM gets a lot of criticism here... take that how you want to. if you apply appropriately, you should get plenty of decisions to make.
