Remove OOS state public schools including both Nevada schools, Michigan State, Illinois, South Carolina, Alabama, Toledo since they accept very few non residents with a MCAT of 504 and no connection to the state. Add more DO schools and I suggest these:
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
VCOM (all schools)
CUSOM

If you fit the mission at Loma Linda you could receive an interview. If you are from the region where UC Riverside is located you could receive an interview there.
