You have several schools that are unrealistic with your stats including Dartmouth, Brown and Emory. Minnesota, U Wisconsin, Virginia Tech admit very few applicants with your stats and no connection to the state. You could add these schools:
Hackensack
Virginia Commonwealth
NOVA MD
TCU
Creighton
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Also apply to DO schools and I suggest these:
UNECOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
PCOM
LECOM
MU-COM
DMU-COM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
CUSOM

Appealing to the faculty experts: is serving on an IRB a clinical experience?

Shadowing experience and specialties represented

No service orientation activities listed here (alleviating others' distress). At many schools, your application is at risk of getting screened out.
