Do you have any physician shadowing hours ? What is the nature of your 200 hours of community volunteering ?

The family medicine was shadowing a physician. The community volunteering includes food banks, helping paint houses, coaching and encouraging young women in sports, and helping children with special needs.

I suggest these schools with your stats:
Oklahoma
TCU
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Belmont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Hackensack
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Alice Walton (when it opens)

As soon as you get back to the US, I would volunteer at a hospital and match the number of hours that you spent abroad volunteering there. I would add your in-state osteopathic program just in case you don't get an invitation from OU Med. I know you want to go MD only, but I think OSUCOM has more seats available to in-state applicants (please confirm). Being picky about MD vs. DO is not worth losing a year of salary as an attending.

Thank you so much! Are there any other schools more south you would recommend? Could I try for Colorado?

Colorado is unlikely with your MCAT scores (even a Colorado resident with a 503 and 508 would have a low chance for admission)
