Thank you. Are there any you recommend removing from my list due to my MCAT score not being competitive or low number of OOS?

No. Your list is fine.

 

[givemyregardstobroadway]

Still I'm worried about my subsection scores being unbalanced. Would this be held against me?

One cannot say for every school, but I wouldn't think so.

Thank you both. Have a good day.
