You’ve got a solid shot at Texas md Schools with those stats. Are you applying?
I am 🙂 Honestly, that is the goal, but I've always felt like my GPA might hold me back. Do you think my chances with OOS DO schools are good?

Just mentioning VCOM (all campuses) has stated a preference for Texas applicants as if they were "in-state."
 
You are competitive for all DO schools but MSUCOM has very high non resident tuition. You could add these schools:
OSU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
PCOM
Touro-NY
NYITCOM
