So why did you apply if you had so many deficiencies you knew about? Sometimes schools will wonder why you are applying if you knew you were not an optimal candidate.
1) How recently did you get the IA citation?
2) Did you apply with your higher MCAT score, or did that come later after you submitted?
3) How did you come up with your list?
4) Was your crisis counseling in-person? Can you use that experience for in-person counseling positions (in a shelter)?
5) Why are you completing an MPH? When did this capstone begin?
In your application you may be missing sufficient evidence of your service orientation (min 150 hours of food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation). Not hitting this rough threshold (150 hours) will screen you out at most schools.
I also don't see your experiences pointing towards a purpose as a physician. What makes you a strong medical student and future colleague? I don't think your answer aligns with what medical schools are looking for.

Based on your responses, I think your personal statement could also be an issue. Have you had it looked by your schools writing center or somebody else?
I had a very similar stats as you, including conduct violation for my freshman year of college. I didn’t get into any of my reach schools, but got into some of my safety schools. I think you’ll have a great shot at UMass but I agree with you that the application seems to be missing cohesiveness.
