You have done a good job of increasing your cGPA, though you are still at 3.0 with a sGPA of 2.9. However, with a MCAT of 514 and excellent ECs you should receive attention at DO schools and possibly some MD schools.
I suggest these DO schools with your stats:
UNECOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
MU-COM
DMU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
CCOM
AZCOM
TUNCOM
UIWSOM
BCOM (both schools)
WCU-COM
ACOM
LMU-DCOM (all schools)
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
For MD schools l suggest these:
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Rosalind Franklin
Rush
Loyola
St. Louis
Ponce (St. Louis)
Creighton
TCU
Roseman
Alice Walton
Belmont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Methodist (when it opens)
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Georgetown
Drexel
Temple
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
 
Maybe a little shadowing will help with credibility with seeing yourself as a physician, but with thousands of hours, you already have a lot of healthcare experience. Definitely the most recent courses will help you with academic readiness. I don't know if I would wait until August to apply unless you are doing just DO. I agree that some MD schools might knock on your door, depending on what your purpose as a physician is.
 
You mentioned that you will not be applying until August. August is fine for DO schools but is on the late side for MD schools. Prewrite your secondaries for MD schools and submit them as soon as possible, preferably by mid September.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys. The list will certainly be pretty DO heavy. Unfortunately an August application is just a fact of life, to get to 3.0 requires one last push at the end here this summer.
