Toledo, Wright State and Colorado accept few non residents with your MCAT and no connection to the state. You could add these schools:
Creighton
St.Louis
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
George Washington
NOVA MD

Thank you for your reply, very helpful info! Do you think that I have a solid chance at MD or should I be applying to more DO schools?

You have a decent shot at Tucson, as their median MCAT is 508. According to AAMC data 64% of people with your stats got an MD acceptance. Applying broadly to MD will increase your chances.
