DO MCAT: 24; Retake in August?!?!

$

So I decided to go ahead and register for a retake on August 22nd, since I was averaging a 30-32 on my AAMC practice tests. I ended up getting a MCAT: PS 8-VR 7- BS 9 (24) on June 20th. I don't know why, but I let the first two passages of PS and VR get to me. I spent too much time on them and had to completely guess on the last two passages for both sections, in addition to not being able to go back to about 3-6 questions that I had marked.
So given the circumstances I believe I can at least get a minimum score of 27.

I am URM (Mexican-American) and I have good EC's:
-1.5 years as Admissions Clerk at local hospital
-6 months as pharm. tech at local hospital (will be working at costco soon)
-6 months as Billing clerk at a Neurosurgeons office
-2 years as a Marching Band consultant for my high school, as well as middle school
-The typical premed activities: volunteering medical/nonmedical, shadowing, premed club.
**I worked atleast 30hr/wk throughout college

My cGPA: 3.59, sGPA: 3.45. Do I have a shot at D.O. schools, given that I am going to retake in late august? In particular to the schools in california or nevada? I heard that the D.O. application cycle is longer than the MD cycle somehow, does anyone know about this?

Thanks!
