A lot of your list are state schools which don’t interview or accept a lot of OOS applicants so would be most likely a waste of tome and money for you.
I would suggest deleting EVMS, Indiana, SUNY downstate, both AZ schools, Iowa, TCU, Minnesota, W Va, Wisconsin, Maryland

and consider adding Boston U, Michigan

Others look good

Thanks! I think Boston U and Mich (and stuff like Pitt/Cincinnati) have too high of an MCAT median unfortunately.

Thanks! What are your thoughts on Northstate? And I know public schools like Colorado, Indiana, etc are crap shoots but I know some still have a relatively large number of OOS admits. Are they really that much worse than the ones you listed? Willing to apply to some state schools to at least have a chance.

I can't recommend CNU. Do a search and find out why.
OOS schools favor the home team. As such, you have to be > avg for them.

maybe add:
Emory
Pitt
Touro-CA and Western if you're really, really keen on staying in CA
