Some schools will average your scores. Any school you applied to previously will know you are a reapplicant. You have too many reaches and should concentrate on more realistic schools and include DO schools. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Tufts
UMass
Albany
New York Medical College
Hofstra
Rochester
Hackensack
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
Methodist
NOVA MD
USF Morsani
Belmont
Tulane
Alice Walton
Ponce (St. Louis)
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Iowa
Colorado
U Illinois
Roseman
Arizona (Phoenix)
Kaiser
California University
UC Davis
UCSD
UCLA
UC Irvine
USC Keck
For DO schools I suggest these:
WESTERN
TUCOM-CA
AZCOM
TUNCOM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
DMU-COM
CUSOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY

Many schools average all attempts, especially for screening. Obviously the jump up for your last attempts will be viewed positively. Did you get any interviews? I'm assuming your 519 happened very recently? Upward GPA trends that matter begin with a GPA lower than 3.0, and I'm not sure you have had that bad of a starting point, if you have been an undergrad for 3 years finishing with the GPAs you report. I agree your reaches are unreasonable without knowing your mission fit... and that might be a real stretch.
I'm a little worried about your hours. Clinical hours still seem light when I consider your anticipated hours (that you will have completed when you apply). Your high school research doesn't matter unless you really want that paper to count when you apply for residency, and even so, that's a pretty old research unit of productivity that may have nothing to do with the specialty you want to pursue (since we don't know what you did). Rush wants more hours than you listed, since you also included teaching and leadership in your 700-hour total; it also waters down a sense of your service orientation, and I'm not sure where you show longevity in your community involvement.
You must include DO schools. Many schools can penalize applicants who are 3x applicants, and those where you are a reapplicant may penalize your application if you didn't show significant improvement in your application (including the major essays).
