Specific to me:

I am not really concerned with MD or DO, obviously would prefer MD but stats may prevent that. I am also 99% fixed on working in pediatrics based on my experiences (if that has an effect on potential school lists). There is 2 C’s on my transcript and 3 B’s (rest are A’s and A-‘s).

School list PCOM (all schools)
KCU-COM
LECOM
Duquesne (new worth the risk?)
VCOM Virginia
Rowan
DMU ,Nova Southeastern, MSU osteopathic, University of New England, WVCOM, NYITCOM, TUORO
 
Your MCAT of 501 is not competitive for Touro-NY or DMU-COM. You could add these schools:
UP-KYCOM
MU-COM
CUSOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
UIWSOM
TUNCOM
You could add the other 3 VCOM schools.
For MD schools try Commonwealth Geisinger.
 
If you are dead set on Pediatrics, DO will be fine. Your nonclinical volunteering is weak, but I'm not sure if some of the DO schools will mind. Be realistic and open if you want to keep your profile as it is.
