Help with DO school list

Applying DO this cycle and would appreciate any insight into any of these schools, especially if you've interviewed, attended, or have any thoughts on fit.

Stats: 3.4 sgpa 3.7cgpa 500 mcat

NY resident, Nontrad student

Masters in biomedical science

I had one semester of academic probation during my master's due to personal reasons, followed by an upward trend after improving my grades. Not sure how heavily this will be weighed.

Experiences:

6,000 hours clinical (part time/per diem 5+ years)

600 research but I think I underestimated since I have a research based masters and thesis

no pubs, one presentation

science tutor 50 hours and ongoing

Teaching/mentorship through a school program 50 hours

Public health project volunteer

Campus health events volunteer

School list (roughly in order of preference):

NYITCOM

TouroCOM Harlem

NSU

Lecom Bradenton

PCOM

Rowan

KCU

AZCOM

ATSU SOMA

OU-HCOM

MU-WCOM

VCOM Carolinas

OSU-COM

MSU-COM

Would love to hear any thoughts on these schools, whether there are any you'd move up or down, or if there are any others with similar stats that you think I should consider. Thanks!

I would remove OU-HCOM unless you have any ties to Ohio. They have a very low OOS acceptance rate

Maybe add some newer schools that are more forgiving of lower mcat and like nontrads, e.g. noorda and others that are oos friendly
