Why is your BCPM so low? Was it one bad year or similar grades throughout?

Are you a member of a special population group?

How many credit hours would it take to get your BCPM GPA up to a 3.6 (assuming straight As)? AMCAS GPA calculator: http://medschool.ucsf.edu/postbac/pdf/AMCAS%20GPA_Calculator%20Version%204%20Final.xls

Coursework to consider would be upper-level Bio, Statistics, and Biochem with maybe psych thrown in if you don't have much.

I had been hoping you'd say you have a steep upward grade trend, but without that, i think you're stuck with doing some GPA repair.

psych will help a science gpa?

No, but it fulfills some med schools' behavioral science requirement.
