How do you have ties to Missouri?

Clinical hours aren't that impressive. 200+ shadowing hours are way too many, and 310 clinical hours with no description feel insignificant.

Where is your service orientation activity (380 hours)? Tutoring is academic.

Why is being a doctor your purpose?

I have updated the details for volunteer and Clinical work. Did my B.S in Missouri
 
California Northstate has accreditation issues. Rush and Loyola are looking for applicants that have far more clinical and non clinical hours than you have. U Washington admits less than 1% of applicants who are not from states in the Northwest. Several of your other schools are unrealistic with a MCAT of 513. I suggest these schools from your list:
Albany Medical College
California University of Science and Medicine
Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin
Creighton University School of Medicine
Drexel University College of Medicine
Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion
Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac
George Washington
Georgetown
Hackensack
Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University
Medical College of Wisconsin
Pennsylvania State University
Sidney Kimmel Medical College
Tufts
Tulane
UC Davis
UC, Irvine
UCLA
UC Riverside (only if you are from that region)
UCSD
UCSF
University of Illinois
Saint Louis University
University of Missouri-Columbia
University of Missouri-Kansas City
Virginia Commonwealth University
Wake Forest University
Wayne State University
Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D.
You could add these schools:
TCU
Belmont
NOVA MD
New York Medical College
Vermont
Oakland Beaumont
