Narrow down my school list (2024)

Stats: 3.8 C GPA/ 3.7 S GPA / 511 MCAT, 124 CARS.
CA resident.
EC: 1000+ nonprofit work, 600 Clinical, 1000+ research, 2 Publications, 2 Poster presentation, Leadership, 1000+ (work throughout undergrad)
I don't have location preference at all.
Plan to apply to 30-40 Schools.
I have a lot of reach schools so I am thinking those would be the first to cut out?

Your absolute right, this list looks far more realistic ( if there's such a thing for med schools), but why did you remove Western Michigan?
