You have many state public schools on your list that accept very few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state so you can remove Indiana, Utah, Wright State, USC-Greenville, Kansas, Central Michigan and Arizona. Howard accepts mainly URM.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
ALL NJ MED SCHOOLS (NJMS, RWJ, COOPER)
Seton Hall
Vermont
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Albany
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
George Washington
NOVA MD
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Creighton
California University (new school)
Also apply to at least 8 DO schools and include Rowan COM

I can't recommend California University School of Medicine, with those stats. Add Georgetown and Netter
