Looks reasonable. I'd check out your WARS score (if you haven't already).

You have a good list and should receive several interviews. Include Mayo-AZ in your Mayo application.

Thanks for your help! And that's a good idea, thanks for suggesting that.

Good list.
I'd add NW or Miami and delete GW and W MI. Probably would delete UCR as well.

Thanks for that suggestion. I actually posted the wrong GPA though, it's more like cGPA: 3.72 and sGPA: 3.63 (dropped a tad since winter quarter). Is this likely to change what's on the list?

Nope.
