I think your school is fine. All the schools are great with CA residents and your stats are great. No worries! Pick & choose your school based on preference/willingness to travel there/tuition cost, etc)

Also CA resdient, the only school I didn't apply to your list was Maryland (need biochem/math/chem LOR),
 
Amazing Stats! Good luck! i'm sure you'll be showered with interviews.

Wow you're nearly my clone in terms of stats, ECs, and schools (minus the CA state schools). I'm a MA resident though.

Are Buffalo and Detroit Mercy OOS friendly?

I read that BU has a limit of 30 credits from a community college and doesn't accept them for prereqs.
 
I'd axe about half those schools with your grades
 
agree with above poster. with your stats, you really only need to apply to CA schools. maybe a couple of OOS schools to show you're serious. but more than seven just seems like a waste of money.
 
ASDOH. excellent clinical experience, good student to teacher ratio, great match rates on specialization, great weather, still close to home.

BTW, I go to ASDOH :laugh:
