WAMC/School List -- 514, 3.3cGPA, 3.0sGPA, 3.6 Grad GPA, URM

[smallicedmocha]

I'm struggling to make a school list because of how the difference between my GPAs and MCAT score. Waiting for my primary to be verified and trying to finalize a list in the meantime. I'm also unsure of how many "reach schools" I can have in my list. Trying to stick between 20-25 schools. First time applying, so I'm really having a hard time with this part.

Pennsylvania resident
URM -- black female
Undergrad GPA: 3.3 cGPA, 3.0 sGPA with upward trend (went to Pitt)
Grad GPA: 3.60 in the first year of my SMP
MCAT: 501 (124/124/124/129) --> 514 (127/129/128/130)

2 years of clinical research with thesis
200 hours clinical volunteering at COVID testing site
200 hours nonclinical community volunteering at homeless shelter
100 hours Teaching Assistant
300+ hours clinical employment
2500+ hours nonclinical employment
Other ECs, including one with a leadership role
0 shadowing hours

Currently, I am considering the following schools:
Pitt
Drexel
Temple
PSU
Penn
Geisinger
Jefferson
Howard
Georgetown
GW
Howard
Robert Wood
NJMS
Miami
Ohio State
Maryland
Tulane
Tufts
NYMC
Cooper
Case Western
Brown
Loyola

If there are any that I should get rid of or add, please let me know! Also, should I be applying to DO schools with my stats?
Thanks!!
