Metrics- and accomplishments-wise, I would encourage you to be picky about the schools you want on your reach list. Let them convince you to apply to their school. I would want to know more about your purpose as a physician and why those specific reach schools have the resources to position your residency profile how you want it to be, provided you put in the effort.

Top-20 pack fodder, a little better than average by their stratospheric standards. You should apply to top schools; your chances are middling there and strong everywhere else.
