Should I add a few more schools now?

[nontrad33]

So yes, I know that it is only the beginning of September and worrying about interview invites this early is neurotic. However, I am concerned that perhaps my school list was not as long as it should have been given my unbalanced profile (high stats, no research) and the radio silence since I submitted secondaries in early/mid July. I would like the chance to add perhaps 3-4 more schools now if it would better cover my bases. I'm looking for suggestions of schools to add.

-3.9/4.0/519 (cGPA, sGPA, MCAT)
-No research (non-trad, employment and family life meant I lacked time to pursue this during post bacc)
-1000's of employed clinical hours, between 200-300 volunteer hours each for clinical and non clinical, lots of leadership, LGBTQ with related experiences, extensive past employment in non medical fields

I worry that my lack of research makes me less competitive at the schools where my stats match, and that my stats will get me yield protected from schools where I feel I'd be a good fit.

Current school list (24 schools, secondaries already submitted, some are reaches I know) :
NYU
Perelman
Pritzker
Mayo
Northwestern
University of Michigan
UCSD
UCLA
USC
Icahn
Einstein
Dartmouth
Albany
Rochester
Quinnipiac
George Washington
Jefferson
Drexel
Rosalind Franklin
Brown
Vermont
VCU (ties to state)
U Wisconsin (ties to state)
OHSU (heritage group)

What should I add if anything? Thank you!

Oregon, so unfortunately OHSU is my only in state option!

Genuinely curious whether it is still “early”, compared to “on time”, considering some schools have IIs already scheduled for Nov-Jan.

Top of my head: USC. Though January might be the extreme, Nov is more common.
