Hey everyone, this is my first post obviously. I was looking for some feedback about my list of schools and my chances. Any comments are welcome. If anyone has any suggestions about schools I should add or remove from the list that would be great but please give an explination.

-200 h volunteering. approx. 150 in an ED the rest in the SICU and a rehab center
-2 quarters as a micro TA

Do you guys think this list is too top heavy and do I have enough schools within my reach? I'm concerned about my unbalanced MCAT score but I think retaking would be insane. You guys will have to take my word on the strong LORs and PS. Thanks for your thoughts.
