Your application would be a donation at nearly all of those schools given they are mostly in-state heavy and your GPA is an inverse U trend. It sounded like you had plans to re-take the MCAT:

Expired MCAT - Red Flag (521)?

You should re-take so you can apply to a more comprehensive list, including all your OH MD schools.

Schools like Penn, USC and Duke are likely to pass on your app when they see your low GPA. Oklahoma and Tennessee do not really take OOS students except those who attended undergrad there or grew up there and then left the state. CA schools are already hard for their own residents let alone OOS students.

Reply back when you receive your new score. It has been a few years since you’ve had to know the MCAT content and the test was shortened back when you took it in 2020.
