UF is a match or low reach because of your unweighted GPA. It depends upon how they recalculate your GPA to include your AP classes already completed, (1 point given for each AP). The average GPA for accepted students is 4.1.
I concur that you will gain a wealth of info from the Fiske guide.
Your grades are good, and your SAT is excellent. GPA is going to be low for some of these schools, but not applying will definitely keep you from going. You might as well apply. You have good safeties there, as long as they’re affordable.
I like your list and would leave some California reaches on there, why not? If you can afford UCLA, its truly got a lot of excellent research programs for premeds. UCLA is an excellent choice as is U of Florida Gainesville, with the medical options right on campus. Gainesville does heart transplants, for the state of Florida amazing medical options right there like UCLA.
How about schools in Boston like Boston U or Northeastern U?
Boston is great for premeds.
On Rutgers, the medical school hospital is 30 miles north in Newark NJ so not as good a choice as UF where you can work in hospitals.
Where would you do medical volunteering or research if you attend Lafayette College?
Check and see if legacy counts at Lafayette College, I think it does. Not really a good location
for getting medical experiences, its a bit far from Phili, stick with the cities so you can work at hospitals.
You should add Case Western Reserve ,CWRU
is competitive for premeds, but it has a lot of great majors and medical options with Cleveland Clinic and the new medical campus
thats joint between two medical schools, CWRU Medical and Cleveland Clinic Medical school. Undergrads work in both hospitals.
U of Michigan is very hard to get admitted with your GPA. I would probably cross it off. UCLA may be much easier in fact. U of Michigan accepts about 50% OOS and from NJ its next to impossible to get in. UCLA on the other hand may work out, although they have a formula and you need to run the U of California admissions formula , your GPA may be too low for UCLA. USC, its truly difficult these days, but they offer spring admissions so maybe try for it.
Calculate your U of California GPA. Then determine which U of California campus is likely for you.
UCSD is another good choice, but you must recalculate your GPA using U of California rules:

If your GPA is too low, then move on to schools that fit your GPA. I do not think Vanderbilt or Brown or U of Chicago are fits for your GPA. Most students have straight As who apply to those schools.
Also what you got Bs in matters. If it was music and art, and English, OK. If it was math and science, its not easy to get in.
This explains U of Cal rules for OOS applicants. If you have any Ds , in their core classes, do not apply. I assume you do not have Ds though.
Look carefully at how they treat grades including 9th grade grades. Because you have taken nine AP classes, that
will help as U of Cal adds points for AP classes. Be sure to self report your grades.

While the UCs are excellent schools where poor freshman grades won’t be held against him, the OP said his budget is 50K per year. As an OOS student, the UC schools will come in over that.
For an OOS student, a 3.52 unweighted GPA probably makes UF-Gainesville more of a reach than a match.
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is within walking distance of Rutgers NB main campus.
