Arizona Tucson admits very few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state. If you want to stay in the South you could add these MD and DO schools:
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
TCU
Creighton (has Arizona campus)
Tulane
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
VCOM (all schools except Monroe)
WCU-COM

Thank you! I forgot to mention that I lived in Arizona for half of my life and part of my family still lives there.

Loyola
MCW
NEOMED

U ILL (but watch tuition!!)
U VM
U WI
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Wake Forest
Wayne State
Your state schools.
Any DO program. I can't recommend LMU, SOMA, ARCOM, RVU, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. Avoid those new schools that haven't graduated a class yet, if at all possible.
