My undergrad GPA is on the low side (3.2) but I did a Masters in Biomedical Science where I got a 3.94. Will they even consider my grad GPA? I have a 21 AA/21 TS.

Get your application in by the first board meeting for the Army/Navy. Realistically speaking, those are your best bets and you have a decent shot. 21 AA/TS is respectable, but don't count on them relying on your masters GPA.

The worst is that they will tell you no.

When is the earliest I can apply?

Start finding the nearest recruiter now. They'll give you more information.

Alright thanks and this might be a silly question, but do they take your physical stature into consideration? I'm a pretty short guy (5'5'')

You'll be fine.

I was selected for Navy HSCP (which I listed as a preference over HPSP on my application) with 3.2 oGPA and 21 AA. Board review is about much more than GPA. I'd say how you're trending has an impact - I had a 3.0 GPA in my original non-science degree but got a 4.0 for all the science prereqs when I returned back to school.

Don't give up on yourself before you start!
