Maryland and U Wisconsin are state public schools that admit very few non residents with your stats. You could add Florida State for MD. You should apply more broadly to DO schools and I suggest adding these:
ACOM
WCU-COM
NYIT-AR
UIWSOM
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
MU-COM
LMU-DCOM
Noorda-COM
LUCOM
BCOM

Thank you very much for the input! The only reason I considered Maryland is the fact that I have lived in Maryland for two years now, my wife is a Maryland resident currently, and we own a house here (I'm still a Florida resident due to the military). I wasn't sure if that could be considered enough of a tie to the state.

Do you believe my MD choices are acceptable besides those two you mentioned?

Yes. You could add some of the others Florida schools such as Florida Atlantic, Central Florida and NOVA MD.
