At top tier schools you will be competing with applicants with many hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering (they are not looking for youth sports or coaching). Remove U Chicago and Creighton. Otherwise, your list is good. Add Washington University (in St. Louis-they like high stats)
