Strongly recommend retaking the MCAT.

Ok, do you think i have a shot at my state school?

The GPA-MCAT grid shows you have ~65% chance for a MD acceptance. Your best chance is your state MD school in Oklahoma which offers interviews to over 75% of applicants who complete secondaries. I also suggest applying to all these schools:
Howard
Meharry
Morehouse
UCLA Drew
TCU-UNT
Creighton
Loyola
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
NOVA MD
George Washington
Drexel
Temple
New York Medical College
Quinnipiac
An early application is important so apply in the next week and submit all your secondaries by late August.
Also apply to at least 8 DO schools and include these:
OSU-COM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
UIWSOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
MU-COM
CUSOM
Most of these schools have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range so you could receive interviews at any of them.

Chances are best there.
