Remove U Washington since they accept less than 1% of applicants who are not from states in the Northwest. Oregon also accepts few non residents with your stats. You could add these schools:
UC Irvine
Albany
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
NOVA MD
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Central Florida
TCU-UNT
Creighton
St. Louis
Loyola
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
