Virginia Commonwealth
Wake Forest
Belmont
NOVA MD
TCU
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)
California University
Loma Linda (if you fit their mission)
UC Davis

For DO schools I suggest these:

MU-COM
UIWSOM
PCOM
NYITCOM

A description of your activities will help hone our advice more. As it stands you need at least 150 hours of non-clinical community service orientation activities, and I'm not sure you have it (food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation). Otherwise, your application risks getting screened out at most schools.
