Remove Rush since they are looking for applicants with hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering and you have none.
UC Riverside does not admit non residents. UC Davis, U Washington, Washington State, OHSU and the SUNYs admit very few non residents with your MCAT scores and no connection to the state. Morehouse admits mainly applicants from the African American community.
I suggest these MD schools with your stats:
Hawaii
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
George Washington
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Hackensack
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
You have a good DO list but add more schools and I suggest these:
AZCOM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
CUSOM
ACOM
WVSOM
TUNCOM

I'll also emphasize, you need non-clinical community service to show service orientation independent of healthcare or clinical settings. Having none means your application is at risk of getting screened out.
