I feel like my extracurricular hours are strong (I took a few gap years after undergrad), but I'm nervous applying to T10/20 schools because of my MCAT. Any suggestions for schools that are OOS friendly who aren't stat wh0r3s? Also need help with mid-tier/safety school list.

These are the schools I've applied to: Utah, Tufts, U Boston, UCSF (dream school), UCSD, UCLA, Rochester, Colorado
Can't decide: GW, Vermont, Drexel, Quinnipac, U Mass, Brown, Mayo (too reachy?), U Mich, USC, suggestions for NY and other east coast schools?

VT, UMass, and Brown are all decent possibilities for which you might also be a good mission fit.
