I'm really trying to avoid the Midwest, I don't know anyone there, have no experience there. Do I need to broaden my list? Or is my list safe?

Thank you all sooo much, really helpful to have your input as a non-trad!!

Chances look great. UNECOM might not be worth it though because such a high percentage of students from New England get preference (around 80-90%, and typically the remaining students are from the Tri-State area as well). Replace it with a school like KCUMB (great school) or ACOM if you'd like.
 
Looks like you are going to get some interviews this cycle for sure. Do you have a letter from a DO? Or just an MD?

My letter is from an MD. I'm trying really hard to find a DO to shadow, but it's difficult. I was really concerned about the 26 mcat for schools like NOVA and PCOM that have 28 averages. Do you really think the 26 is not a problem?
 
You're fine
