True I think the likelihood that you get a decent shot at programs and have your choice is higher, but in my experience the PhD thing wasn’t as strong as the school name thing. This last year the people who really took the trail by storm did not have PhDs. That is to say that every year they want different things.

Seems like a solid applicant no? UC Irvine and USC are pretty far apart I think..

Top med school? Coming from strong home program as in UVA/UF/Iowa?

If you're from a low tier med school or have no home program then it'll be hard to match west coast with your current profile.
