You have done an incredible job on your path here. Mark disadvantaged down on AMCAS as it primarily refers to your experiences growing up. I would remove Rutgers as I do not believe they take many OOS students, even if they are from NY.

You could add:
Oakland
Hackensack
St Louis
MCW
Ohio State
Cincinnati
IU (Rank their Indianapolis campus as your highest vs their smaller ones)
Case
NYU
Cornell
Columbia

 

[Goro]

Your list is good and I agree with chilly

 

[Faha]

You could add any of these schools to your list:
Brown
Dartmouth
Columbia
Cornell
Case Western
Ohio State
Cincinnati
Kaiser
Indiana

Wow, thank you all so much! Will do! @chilly_md @Goro @Faha

@chilly_md — I had no idea disadvantage could still be applied, thank you for that advice as I absolutely will and thank you for your kind words!

Disadvantaged definitely applies to describing your childhood/adolescent environment (housing/food insecure with an emphasis on insecure?). Some hard-working admissions professional from your home state would probably recognize your zip code and/or high school to confirm.
