My thoughts are that you should have posted this in WAMC so I'm moving it there.

Here are my thoughts:

Mayo - with such a small class, they can afford to be picky. Make sure you have something with "wow" factor before applying
Northwestern
OHSU - they accept very few OOS, probably not worth your money
Saint Louis U
Sidney Kimmel
Drexel
GWU
Hopkins
Stanford
Miami (alma mater)
South Florida - check to see how many OOS they accept
Arizona-Tucson - they accept about 1/4 OOS, but many of them are from CA
Colorado
Maryland
Utah - check to see how many OOS they accept
Virginia Tech
WVU - they interview a lot of OOS but waitlist many more

Schools you could consider:
Mt. Sinai
Einstein
Hofstra
BU
Tufts
Dartmouth
Temple
Loyola
Rush - if you have the service hours
Tulane
Emory
Uniformed Services (if you're okay with military commitment)
Rochester
