MD schools are not realistic with your stats. You could receive interviews at some DO schools and I suggest these:
MU-COM
UIWSOM
TUNCOM
ATSU-SOMA
ARCOM
NYIT-AR
WCU-COM
ACOM
Noorda-COM
KANSAS-COM
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
LMU-DCOM
LUCOM
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
LECOM (all schools)
Any new schools that open in the coming year (there may be 2 or 3)

I would agree that unless your MCAT were better, it might be a little tough to go with MCW and UWW WARM. However, check with them since your ultimate goals are well aligned with the WARM program, especially if you want to stay in-state to practice.
