Utah, South Carolina, Michigan State, Wisconsin admit few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state. Emory is a reach. I suggest applying to more schools this week and consider these:
TCU-UNT
Creighton
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
NOVA MD
Virginia Commonwealth
Drexel
Hackensack
Albany
Quinnipiac
You should also apply broadly to DO schools and I suggest these:
WESTERN
TUCOM-CA
TUNCOM
AZCOM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
CCOM
UIWSOM
WCU-COM
ACOM
CUSOM
VCOM (all 4 schools)
NOVA
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
PCOM (all schools)
LECOM (all schools)
NYITCOM (all schools)
Touro-NY
2 DUIs will definitely be a deal breaker at many schools which is why you need to apply to many MD and DO schools and hope that a few schools may interview you despite the DUIs.

Did you already apply? 1 DUI would be a problem but 2 is really bad. I would avoid applying to schools that get thousands of applications. For example, GW and georgetown from the above list might just be donations becuase they get 10,000 + applications

Honestly you should apply but be prepared not to get in. Had something similar and got two acceptances from low tier schools out of the 50 I applied to but I had a 3.99/521 from an Ivy

Two DUIs might be worrisome for a pattern of alcohol abuse, even though they're four or five years in the past. A single DUI...it's a big deal, but it's been years and you've otherwise been doing good.

If you don't get in this round, and you really want to get in next go around, spend several years in some virtuous position of responsibility. It needs to be something that you really have your heart in. Teach for America or Peace Corps can work. Military veterans with histories like yours have also been shown forgiveness - but I'm not advising joining up just to bolster a medical school application.

You are going to have to work, here, to make sure that you look like a model citizen and an exemplary human being. Good luck.

Two misdemeanor DUI charges (2017 & 2018), no one was injured in either incident (actually wasn't in the care in either incident). First I moved my car in a parking lot at a bridal shower... second I got a flat tire. Was very honest and owned my mistakes on all applications, did not make excuses or explain the background info as I did here on apps, but thought it was relevant to share here. It's the kicker. Appreciate open feedback.

I’m very similar to you, but mine are much older. Can you provide an update with anything you’ve learned?

Did you talk with anyone in student services, diversity, or admissions before applying?

Illinois is truly eye wateringly expensive for OOS. Probably the highest in the country. They pay for the in staters ( which is still expensive).
