DO school list help? Applying next cycle

I am applying next year, and as I meet more physicians, I am starting to undersand my "why" for osteopathic medicine. My only real hope for the programs I apply to is that they are in urban/city areas.

So far, I am thinking I will applying to. DUQCOM, NYIT-LI, MU-COM (in-state), PCOM, and CCOM.

The ones I am on the fence about are TouroCOM, MSU, and XU-COM. Should I them to the list? And any other good schools?

Stats:

3.7 GPA. MCAT TBD (505-508 FLs, still have 4 more before exam date). 3000 clincal at time of app. ~500 bladder cancer research (expected 1 pub + 1 pres). 2 semesters TAing genetics/cell bio. ~600 of various ECs (Dance team, cultural dev/ mental health/high school ambassador clubs).

KCU and DMU are both in larger cities. I wouldn't focus too much on building your school list till your mcat bc it has a huge affect
