A little background about me: Currently pursuing a masters in biological sciences with prehealth specialization to bolster my application due to low undergrad gpa because of immaturity and lack of priorities

overall science gpa:2.9 (including 18 credit hours of all A's in masters program so far and including a 3.6 of last semester of undergrad) if I continue to get all A's in the program I should end up with a sGPA of 3.0-3.15ish
mcat: 505
EC: 500+ hours of working as an EMT, 50+hours of shadowing, 300+ hours of volunteering at 2 hospitals; and 50+ hours of volunteering at community center helping tutor children of refugee families

State of residence: TX

Which DO schools do I have a shot at and if my application is not currently competitive enough what should I work on? Thank you.
