Please help with my list: cGPA 3.55, sGPA 3.3, 514 MCAT

Hi everyone, I'm currently struggling to finalize my MD school list, and could use some help.

NY resident, female, asian, recent graduate
cGPA 3.55
sGPA 3.3
MCAT: 514 (balanced)

Did psych research for 1.5 years, no publications
500+ hours clinical volunteering with lots of patient interaction
50 hours shadowing
1 year non-medically related work experience (help desk)

I know my GPA puts me at a disadvantage and also plan on applying DO.

For the MD schools, I'm currently considering applying to:
All of the SUNY schools, New York Medical College, Hofstra, Albany Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Quinnipiac, Rush, Case Western, Rosalind Franklin, Cooper Medical School, Drexel, George Washington University, Temple, Loyola, Tulane

Do you have any suggestions for medical schools I should omit or consider applying to?
Thanks so much in advance!

These are additional schools where your stats give you a chance for an interview:
Vermont
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
St. Louis
Creighton
EVMS
Virginia Commonwealth
Roseman (new school accepting applications sometime this year).
Also apply to at least 6 DO schools and you are competitive for any DO school.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll look in to these schools, and will be applying to DO schools as well. Do you think there are any schools I should omit from my current list because the chance of interview are too low? I'm aiming to apply to 15-20 MD schools.

I can't recommend the SUNYs. Your best chances will be with the NJ schools.

Case is a reach with your GPA and Cooper prefers NJ residents and only interviews less than 3% of OOS applicants.

State schools favor the home team. One has to be > avg for OOSers.

Why don't you recommend the SUNYs?
