You have many schools that won’t necessarily reward reinvention. And your MCAT puts your out of range of most schools when taken with the fact you are a reinvent or. I have trimmed your list above (and swapped CCOM for the Midwestern closer to you).

For additional DO schools, add:

Touro NV
NYITCOM
WCU
ACOM
WVSOM
