A 3.5 in a post-bacc is still not doing a ton to convince ADCOMs you can handle med school rigor convincingly, particularly when coupled with that GPA. If that's your upward trend, it's not a convincing one.

Best bet is to apply to state schools, Drexel and a variety of DO's with an emphasis on the new ones. I do think you can be alright for DO's with a good list(note more than 7 schools think at least twice that), what is your GPA now with that post-bacc work? Unless it's above a 3.3 I hesitate to recommend many MD's.
