Remove California Northstate since they have accreditation issues. OHSU and UNC admit few non residents with no connection to the state.
You could add these schools:
USF Morsani
Hofstra
New York Medical College
Rochester
Pittsburgh
UMass
Cincinnati
Western Michigan
 
Did you get an FAP letter? Could you describe the work you have done with underserved populations?
I did not get an FAP letter, I have been saving to apply for medical school for over a year and had some assistance from my parents, so I did not complete the application. Most of my undergrad was covered by financial aid, so I likely wouldve in hingsight. I can describe the work I've done with underserved populations- through all four years of undergrad, though not as much since as clinical research is my full time job
