I'm trying to make a school list for OOS schools in addition to all the schools in Texas. I have a preliminary school list but if I could get any recommendations or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

White female, TX resident. Attend UT Austin. Biochemistry major/CS minor.
cGPA: 3.75 sGPA: 3.65
MCAT: 514 (129/130/128/127)

Clinical volunteering: 250 hours hospital volunteering in the ER.
Non-clinical volunteering: 60 hours volunteering with the developmentally disabled, 80 hours volunteering with high school students from low SES backgrounds and revising their essays, member of a service org and do ~30 hours a semester in various projects.
Research: two summers of cancer research at a hospital, with a manuscript under review (I'm not sure if it will be published by the time I apply though), 1 semester on drug delivery. I also did a semester of CS/physics research for lab credit but I'm not sure if it's applicable or worth adding.
Shadowing: 10 hours pediatrics, 10 hours psychiatry at county psych ward, 10 hours cardiology. I'm looking to squeeze in some more shadowing, and some other clinical experience if I were to do a gap year.
Extracurriculars/employment:
- school newspaper, first as a writer doing 1-2 articles/week and then as an editor
- editor for my institution's research journal
- freelance write articles for a law firm
- social/service org - lots of volunteering
- few hackathons, was a finalist at one.

According to adcoms on this site OOS MD schools generally avoid interviewing Texas residents since they assume they will attend a Texas MD school. The exceptions would be if you attended undergraduate school in the state, have a connection to the state, high stat applicants, URM or legacy. You could try the newer schools such as Quinnipiac, Oakland Beaumont, NOVA MD, Seton Hall and California University.
