Can I get into any of these places? I applied to a bunch of CA schools but I'm not a resident and don't expect secondaries. Please help, I have seriously no idea where I stand on the high school bit. Not something I've heard anyone else mention

Where is your state of residence? I think you have a reasonable chance for an interview at Dartmouth, Tufts, Tulane, Penn State, Medical College Wisconsin, Albany, Albert Einstein, Georgetown. The state schools prefer their own residents so it depends on where you are a resident.

Thank you! Minnesota, but I've heard of a lot of people getting turned down there this year :/ and I'm not underrepresented. I'm pretty stoked on Penn State since they do problem based learning and CO since I'm a counselor and case manager at a homeless clinic and they do a lot with underserved folks. Good to know that I'm not grossly overapplying! Do you know any other schools that might be good to try?

No, you are not over applying. You could add another 7 or 8 schools this week where you would have a reasonable chance for an interview. Consider Loyola, Rosalind Franklin, St. Louis, Oakland Beaumont, New York Medical College, Hofstra, GW, Jefferson, Temple, Drexel. Your stats would be competitive at all those schools and you would have a greater chance for an interview than some of the schools you have already applied to.

Ranking is not an advisable way to choose schools. IU is highly ranked but difficult to get into OOS.
