You shouldn't need to apply to DO schools unless you really want to go DO. Agree with investing in MSAR. I would target mid tier schools with some top 20s thrown in as well as all CA schools other than Loma Linda and Northstate. Perhaps throw in some schools like Hofstra and SUNYs too. ECs look good.
@Goro @WedgeDawg Thank you guys so much. I will definitely invest in the MSAR and begin to compose a list, however, right off the bat, what top 20's would you guys suggest? Also, I have been looking around at USC and am curious to know if my lack of publications and or presentations on my research would affect me there due to their emphasis on research. What about the other powerhouse research schools? Thanks
If you also speak Spanish and have commitment to serve local communities in CA, you are good to go.@Goro @WedgeDawg Thank you guys so much.

All the UC's, Prime and Drew.@gyngyn @Goro @GrapesofRath So I actually attend a UC that gives a huge priority to alumni from their UG to their Medical School, I have a deep interest in serving the underserved communities of the Inland Empire, which is where i am from. One of my parents is a disabled veteran, so i have gotten my full tuition covered at my UC and if i get into a UC medical school, the tuition gets covered as well. Should i apply to all of the UC's? and if so, which ones do you guys believe are more community service oriented. UCR seems like a good fit.
