You have many great suggestions upthread. I also recommend Case Western (demonstrated interest is important there, FYI) and maybe Rochester or Brandeis if you are interested in midsized schools that offer some merit. I have heard good things about Creighton (NE). If you are gravitating towards LACs - @Midwestmomofboys gave you lots of great suggestions. I know that you are wanting to get out of Minnesota, but St Olaf is also great for pre-health majors and has merit up to half of total cost. Another LAC worth considering is Muhlenberg, which has some good merit awards. Finally Clark U (Worcester, MA) might be worth a look.
As for your college counselor, this past year was a very strange and unprecedented admissions cycle due to COVID and Test Optional. It is currently very hard to predict outcomes so maybe your counselor is being extra cautious because of this. I agree with others upthread that you should gently and politely insist that your counselor also work with you to come up with a couple of reach options that interest you.
Your stats and ECs related to your choice of major look very strong. With a balanced list, I am sure you won’t lack for options. Good luck!
