Don't retake mcat. 2 points lower than average is fine and is common from what I have seen. Your GPA isn't that low and if you are up to 3.5 it's better. You can also take classes after graduating to boost it up more. You can look at the MSAR to get an idea of the average GPA at most schools and the range as well.
