The average admitted medical student has a 3.6 and a 30 on the MCATs. If you can get above the 30, I'd say you would get in somewhere. But, it also depends on where you are finishing your degree. If you do indeed get the 3.4 and it is at a prestigious University, you will probably get in somewhere. There are students at my school, Johns Hopkins, who get 3.4-3.5 GPAs and end up at Penn or Harvard medical school. Undergrad school is a factor of admissions. But, no matter where you are coming from, if you do well on the MCATs and tout your research, you should have a good chance at getting in. Which schools though, will depend a lot on where you are from, where you did our undergrad and our extracurriculars.

aren't the MCATS out of a scale score of 1-15? You dont even have to be a premed major to get in, my friend had a 3.0 GPA from colorado school of mines in Cemical Enginering and got accepted into most medical schools. I don't remember what his MCAT score ws, thats why i thinks its out of 15. He did tell me it was expensive though!

I doubt you will. The US schools have mostly 4.0 students applying.
You might look into going to medical school abroad, then do your residency in the US at a teaching hospital that takes foreign medical grads. LA County+USC Medical Center is one.
