If you take 65 more credits earning all A's, that will put you at a 3.1 overall GPA. This would open the door for some osteopathic schools. Obviously you would still need to take the MCAT and I would shoot for AT LEAST a 28+. Try to get some shadowing and volunteering in, but ABSOLUTELY not at the expense of your grades. That should be your number 1 priority at this point. If you have to take a year or 2 or 3 to boost your ECs after you graduate, then so be it. Also, look in to grade replacement. For DO schools, if you retake a class, your new grade would replace your old grade. I would HIGHLY suggest you retake all those classes you failed. If you can hit B's or better, that would drastically improve your AACOMAS GPA (your GPA calculated with your replaced grades).
You have definitely dug yourself quite a whole, but you still have a shot at DO schools if you retake your failed classes and do well and NAIL all of your remaining classes. It won't be easy, but it's still possible.
Good luck!
