Too late to apply to more schools?

I have 1 acceptance, 2 wait-lists, waiting to hear post interview from one school (current top choice) and silence from a handful of others.

Is it too late to apply to a few more?

Average/+ DO stats.

I wish I threw in an app to TCOM back in Aug-Sep...

Right? There are a solid 3-4 schools I wish I had applied to!

I thought I wouldn't stand a chance with a few of them due to OOS bias or being slightly below their MCAT or sGPA but I had a surprise interview at one school I considered out of my reach but decided to "just go for it" and now really kicking myself.

I can't recommend it. By the time it gets processed and back to you, you'd be interviewing in late spring, by which time Adcoms get very picky. In addition, you're also competing with the MD wannabes who have good apps, but who couldn't get into MD schools.
