list is likely too heavy on public schools despite your strong stats
and the texas schools are extremely difficult for OOS
your shadowing and volunteering are ok
trust the process...

Ever visited or interacted with OU faculty? that would be your best and most cost effective school

Yes! I actually got my braces through there in high school and have gone on a private tour with a professor that is a family friend.

That’s probably true. It’s just hard to know which private schools are quality for how expensive most of them are.

Not sure your research hours will help you with UMich or Penn. I agree check your public OOS schools to see if they took in anyone from Oklahoma recently.
