Trying to maybe add a few more schools to my list and increase chances of getting in! Please help!

1. cGPA 3.89, sGPA 3.89
2. First MCAT 496 (125/123/124/124), second MCAT 505 (129/124/126/126)
3. State of Residence: New Mexico
4. White, ORM
5. Traditional university- not Ivy league
6. Clinical experience: 300+ hours volunteer
7. Research
  1. College-summer internship and 3 semesters, no pub but poster at national conference
  2. Gap years: been working as a PRA for 2+ years now with many pubs on the way (mostly 2,3rd author so far)
8. 74 total shadowing hours; anesthesiology, primary, cardiology, many specialties abroad (peds, OBGYN, etc.)
9. ~50 hours non-clinical volunteer--but on top of that I worked for 4 years with community outreach with the homeless and was very involved (but I
was paid)
10. ECs include learning ASL, dancing, leadership in 2 clubs, gap years mentioned before (2 years as PRA)
11. American Institute of Chemist's Award

Here's my list so far (12 schools), and I'm trying to add a few more. I haven't applied to any DO's but considering.
  • Chicago Rosalind Franklin
  • Creighton
  • Drexel
  • Rutgers, RWJMS
  • Emory
  • Vermont
  • UCSD
  • UCSF
  • UVA
  • University of Colorado
  • Rochester
  • UNM

You have schools on your list that are completely unrealistic with a MCAT of 505 (and 496) including Rochester, Colorado, UVA, UCSF, UCSD, Emory, Rutgers.
I suggest these schools with your stats:
New Mexico
Creighton
Loyola
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
TCU-UNT
NOVA MD
Drexel
Temple
Penn State
Seton Hall
New York Medical College
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Also apply to DO schools and consider these:
AZCOM
TUNCOM
UIWSOM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
CUSOM
PCOM
Touro-NY
NYITCOM
