If you have all the core Pre Reqs out of the way, with Bs or better in each, I would only take graduate level coursework from here on out if this is what you want to ultimately do.
If I were you, I'd study my butt off for the MCAT (as everyone needs to) and see what happens. If you get a solid score for DO schools (505 or higher) you should then look into SMPS, or DIY post baccs of upper division science classes or grad school classes. Sounds like you have a pretty substantial upward trend already. If you can show the that you of now is not the you of then, I think you could get into one of the newer schools. From there, it's all about handling your business to get the residency you want.
The "old" DO schools that are really jockeying for rankings aren't gonna let you in most likely at this point, unless you get like a 520 MCAT. But the newer schools could be willing to take the very minor hit their overall matriculant GPA would take if you add things in other areas. A high MCAT would help most with this. But you need to round out the rest of your app too, you need DO LoRs, need more true clinical hours, maybe could look into medical positions in underserved community health care centers, etc. Your ECs sound good but from now on you need to operate with the mindset that you need to be exemplary in every possible way to have a chance that a program will overlook your low GPAs.
I think you could do all this, its just a question of if you want to. For starters, take this MCAT and see how you do. If you don't get an absurdly high score, I would not apply this upcoming cycle, and I certainly would not apply to LECOM for this current cycle.
good luck!
