1500 hours research volunteering (no publications)
250 hours ED volunteering

2000 hours ED scribing
80 hours DO shadowing

Primaries sent so far to:
OUHCOM
LECOM-Erie
LECOM-Bradenton
WV-COM
UP-KYCOM
NYCOM

I am planning on applying to around 15 schools in total. More suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I was considering Marian and PCOMs but unfortunately my MCAT is one month older than Marian's limit and I don't have sociology for PCOM. There was also one school that did not accept AP classes for pre-reqs.
 
Your stats are just fine, but nothing spectacular. You school list looks good for where you're from. If you're interested in looking at good all around schools though you might look into A.T. Still (both campuses), ACOM, PNWU, and MSUCOM.

I suggest:
MSUCOM
KCU
Western (both)
DMU
VCOM (all three)
ACOM
AZCOM
TUNCOM
Touro-CA
Nova
LMU
BCOM OR UIW OR Wm Carey
 
Don't apply AZCOM.....They will for sure send you a secondary, but then they will deny you because they don't interview anyone below 506.
