I think you have a chance with UColorado, Rutgers, LECOM, Touro, and Creighton (if you have a lot of volunteering/community service)

you need to submit ASAP
and I would recommend applying to a lot more schools
 
What schools would you recommend?

I recommend you do some research on schools that do not have dat cutoffs
and apply to schools closer to your GPA/DAT range...

Your sub 20 DAT scores will not help. Hopefully you're in-state choices can extend a hand, but the performance is much lower than the bulk majority of desirable candidates.
