WAMC?
- used MSAR as a basis
- feels too top-heavy
- worried about lack of research, clinical hours (not sure if those club EMT hours will count)
- was not going to apply DO but will consider it if enough comments
- Thanks everyone!

Schools such as Georgetown, Saint Louis are looking for applicants with many more clinical and non clinical volunteering hours than you have. Your MCAT is not competitive for Washington University. Utah, U Wisconsin and Oregon accept few non residents with no connection to the state. You could add any of these schools:
TCU-UNT
NOVA MD
Medical College Wisconsin
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Cincinnati
Hofstra
New York Medical College
Rochester
Vermont
Quinnipiac
 
I generally agree with FAha here. You have a solid app, but a not so optimized list. I'd remove Utah, Oregon, Washington. Add a few more from Faha's list. Also consider Miami, Einstein.
