Hi y'all, I'd appreciate it if someone helped me a bit with a school list. I'm not too sure what mid-tier schools to add, and whether I should add the rest of the top 20s in.

Majors: Econ, Bio. Good NY state school.

Stats:
cGPA 3.82 (3.86 + 2 sneaky high school classes)
sGPA 3.92
521 MCAT

Phi Beta Kappa
President's volunteer service award

Demo:
The most numerous type of Asian, upper-middle class.
Living in NY

ECs:
400 Hr Non-clinical volunteering (americorps-equivalent)
100 Hr Shadowing
600+ Hr Research
3 Labs, 0 Pub, 1 Poster, 1 Conference. Writing a 1st or 2nd author paper right now so it'll be an update.
2 Leadership positions
Nothing put as clinical volunteering in undergrad. 400+ in high school, which I talk about in my PS. Sucks, doesn't it?

Gap Year:
Unpaid research appiontment, continuing in my lab
EMT

Important is that I'm a pretty high-stat'd re-applicant. Why? Likely because I finished primaries in mid-september, and secondaries in late October, for personal (and financial) reasons. If there are any schools that would throw my app in the bin for that, let me know.

Running school list:
einstein
case western
columbia
hofstra
duke
mt sinai
nyu
pitt
upenn
stony brook
suny downstate
pitt
vanderbilit
cornell
darmouth

Thanks in Advance!

Preference for east coast + midwest.

Thank you both. @Goro , do you have any insight as to what schools might not be re-app friendly?
