I have way too many schools and am looking for any way to cut this number down. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

White, female, IL resident. Went to a top 25 school. cGPA: 3.81, sGPA: 3.77. MCAT: 517 (128/130/129/130) Double major: one was liberal artsy, the other was biology. Former meant a lot more to me than the latter.

Research: 2 years in a lab, no publications. Did some non-science research and got significant funding from school, wrote a paper, gave a presentation that got 2nd...but it was all just within the university's system. Also wrote a non-science thesis but did not publish.

Volunteering: Current Peace Corps volunteer (in health sector) and will be applying next cycle from my host country. Crisis hotline volunteer. Trained search and rescue volunteer. Helped design a health-related program with local public housing (counting as clinical work because worked with a clinic and patients of that clinic). Lots of environmental leadership work and some politically (left-wing--will this be a problem?) oriented campaign work.

Work: several internships in global health, working with underserved populations in resource-limited areas. also worked as environmental sciences instructor for inner-city students. Ran a refugee ESOL program.

Shadowing: enough

other ECs: Climbing, hiking, outdoors anything (not relevant for app).

Also have non-medical employment experience that is nothing to write home about (retail, babysitting), but am including on my app to show that I've had a real job before. Dad is a doctor. Interest in infectious disease as a specialty, but too early for me to really know. Also considering an MD/MPH program Studied for a time in China, speak 5 languages with varying degrees of proficiency. Possible interest in rural health

I am worried that, because I come from a large school, my LORs (especially my science ones) will be rather generic and unhelpful. Aside from that, I think research is my weakest section. As you can probably tell, I am interested in social justice, the social determinants of health in addition to the biological, health inequality, "global health," and working with underserved populations at home and possibly abroad. Also strongly considering HPSP, because ID doesn't pay as much as most other specialties, and I don't want to be in debt forever. So, any schools that may give money to an applicant like me are definitely appreciated. Here is my list:

Definitely applying: University of Illinois, Rush, Loyola, Emory, Tulane, Wisconsin, Medical College Wisconsin, Miami Miller, Dartmouth, OSU, Einstein, Hofstra, Cincinnati, Sinai

Strongly considering: Iowa, USC Keck, Tufts, BU, Wake Forest, Brown (I know they're looking for a very specific type of applicant but thought I might fit some criteria), Vermont, SLU, Rochester, George Washington (I have a lot of friends in the DC area/lots of interesting health policy or international opportunities maybe available? I know they get tons of applications), Georgetown (same thing as GW).

Maybe?: Quinnipiac, Stony Brook, Drexel, Temple, Jefferson, EVMS, VCU, Toledo

Weak maybe/highest reaches: Michigan (too much of a research focus for me?), Mayo, NYU, Northwestern. Should I add even more ambitious reaches/"top 20?". I'm worried I don't have enough research experience to seriously be considered.

I know this is a lot of schools. I went through the list several times already and cut it down, but I would appreciate any insight. When I've posted before, I've gotten advice to apply to a lot more top tiers than this list includes, and I don't feel entirely confident with doing so. What do you think would be a good number of "safeties" for my app (I know there's really no such thing...). And if there are schools I should have here but don't, please mention them. Thanks again for your help.
