Your GPA looks fine for a med school admission, but you also need a competitive MCAT score, and the usual extracurriculars. It looks like you have research, but what about community service, clinical experience, shadowing, and leadership?

Attending multiple schools isn't an issue. Your overall cumulative GPA is what will be looked at.
