You are probably in good shape for the Texas schools, but be sure to check this attached course list (put out by TMDSAS) to see if your course numbers meet the rigor expected for medical school.
Sometimes an introductory course or pre-nursing or pre-allied health class will not be on the list.
How long ago did you graduate?

Thank you for your response. I graduated nursing school 2 years ago and took all the extra PRE MED requirements. 🙂
 
Check with MSAR, but I think several of the schools on your list are out of reach with your GPA/MCAT score, and a couple are not friendly to OOS applicants. I would consider adding more DO schools.

Agreed - I am not a list-maker for OOS schools but I know that these essentially are IS only: U North Dakota, Marshall
Howard and Meharry are primarily focused on Black applicants
 
Many of the OOS schools on your list are unrealistic with your stats. OOS MD schools admit few Texas residents since they know from years of experience that Texas applicants will attend a Texas school. For AMCAS schools you could try Tulane, TCU, Belmont, Alice Walton, Roseman (when it opens) and Methodist (when it opens). You have a good DO list and add UIWSOM.
