You have a good list and should receive several interviews. You could add MU-COM, UP-KYCOM .
I am considering a MCAT retake due to the imbalance in my scores should I be concerned? My MCAT is enough for an interview at KCUCOM as long as I get a 3.5 gpa but want to apply broadly as a back up.

502 (123/128/124/127)

I'm hoping doing well in the SMP will counterbalance the lower science MCAT scores.
