I think your list is pretty good, contains a good mix of high and mid tiers. Nioce.
 
I agree that stats-wise you are theoretically within reach of any of them considering your strong research background. Other than the three medical trips, do you have other community service or clinical experience to list? Any physician shadowing? Any leadership exerience?

If you're not from Indiana, they take few OOSers.

I shadowed 2 neurosurgeons, 1 cardiac surgeon, and 1 family doctor. I am webmaster of Alpha Chi Sigma, and I have done volunteer activities through them. Also, all my letters of recommendation are good.
