With your interest in continuing your work at MSKCC, these are the schools I would look into, and how I would categorize your chances for admission. I am known as being on the conservative side with my estimates:

With the CUNYs, I’d also recommend applying to the Macaulay Honors College. Also, although you are aiming for an MD/PhD or a free medical school option, realize that those are extremely competitive. If you seriously want to go to medical school, I would make sure to include options that will be very affordable in order to have extra funds for medical school, should you decide on that path. I would not be surprised if you received extremely generous merit aid from some of your likely options.

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • CUNY City College
  • New Jersey Institute of Technology
  • Seton Hall

Likely (60-79%)

  • SUNY Stony Brook
  • CUNY Hunter College
  • Rutgers – New Brunswick

Toss-Up (40-59%)

Low Probability (20-39%)

Lower Probability (less than 20%_

  • Columbia (NY)
  • NYU
  • Princeton (NJ)

Now, research in a lab is available at just about every university with a science department. So, excluding the MSKCC wish, these are some schools that you might want to consider.

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • U. of South Carolina: Also has a very well-reputed honors college.

Likely (60-79%)

  • George Washington (D.C.)
  • Howard (D.C.): HBCU, which is also has a really good science scholars program that @ChangeTheGame may be able to speak more about.

Toss-Up (40-59%)

  • U. of Rochester (NY)
  • Wake Forest (NC)

Low Probability (20-39%)

  • Boston College (MA)
  • Boston U. (MA)
  • Northeastern (MA)

Lower Probability (less than 20%)

  • Rice (TX)…not east coast, but right next to Houston’s medical area, including the renowned M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
  • Brown (RI)
  • Cornell (NY): I believe that one of the publicly-subsidized colleges also has some good options for science/med school prep, which might be a less competitive entrance and be lower cost. I can’t remember who was discussing it recently, though to tag them.
  • Georgetown (D.C.)
  • Georgia Tech
  • Harvard (MA)
  • Johns Hopkins (MD)
  • Yale (CT)
