Remove UC Davis since they admit very few non residents (only 2 or 3 per year). Rutgers and Oregon admit few non residents with no connection to the state. You could add these schools:
Kaiser
USF Morsani
Duke
Pittsburgh
Hofstra
Brown
Cincinnati
 
What's your mission fit? Why should a school want to interview you over someone else with the same or better metrics?

I would hope UW interviews you. You probably have to convince WSU why you would choose them over UW or other brand schools... but you should get attention.

One of my top priorities is participating in research immediately. I want to contribute to academia to some degree throughout my entire career and am heavily invested in pharmacology, psychopathology, applying modern math/stats/computational methods/deep machine learning to whatever specialty or academic project I find myself working in. More specifically my current research projects are circuit level neuroscience studies focused on the effect of exogenous drug intervention for chronic stress. However, I'm not applying MD/PhD and would like my role as a physician to be the focal point of my career.

I'm confused what you mean by "mission fit" do you have specific questions in mind that could help me elucidate on this?

I don't understand why you want to "participate in research immediately" if you already have this listed. It also suggests that maybe you are more invested in your interests in ML than MD... maybe pursue a master's in bioengineering before going to medical school. You won't get as much time to explore this area once you start your medical school journey, especially if you don't want MD/PhD. However, I would suggest looking into the Lerner Cleveland Clinic/CWRU track where you might be able to over five years. Plus I think they don't charge tuition IIRC.
