Next steps as a non traditional?

So I basically graduated college last year and had a very bad undergrad experience. I decided to take the rest of premed requirements after I graduated at a local university. I graduated college with a 3.098 (120 credits with additional 5 that were pass fail) and 2.87 scgpa). I took gen chem 1 twice in undergrad due to personal problems. My postbacc gpa is a 3.78 with 15 credits, all science/ math courses. I did about two internships during undergrad. One was an online summer one where I made materials to promote coral preservation at Fijian resorts/dive shops (I did a poster session for this) another internship was volunteering at a primate center. I was an ambassador for the fijian thing my senior year (it's an uk organization and I'm a us student). I also studied abroad alot in college. I was a parttime student medical assistant this past semester for about 2 months, and have been doing covid related research. What other steps should I take? I dont know how many credit hours I should take after this semester (I'm taking 9, organic chem, organic lab, and 2nd part of physics). I really want to do a masters but it doesn't really work out cause I havent taken the GRE or Mcat. Also unrelated, I would really like to move but don't know how I'd do this with my current path.

What's your GPA including your post bacc classes? If you could get something like a 508+, then you may be competitive for DO programs with some DO shadowing. You should shoot for a 515+ if you can.

MD schools seem a little bit out of reach for now unless you really kill your MCAT. I'd recommend doing an SMP and killing it.
