Are you applying for NHSC?

I would cross off USUHS unless military medicine is your desire.

Do you know if all the schools listed have a rural medicine track?

School isn’t where you learn rural medicine. Go to any school you want (take md over do, then pick the cheapest). Then go to a rural residency.
