I don't know how long it would take you to get enough straight As to get near a 3.5 so the chances of you decently salvaging your GPA is very low. Top medical schools have a a 3.7-3.9 range for their accepted students.
Would strongly consider utilizing AACOMAS grade replacement policy and applying to DO programs.

Take the MCAT in due time(ie not now) and see where you stand.
Hit 513+ and if you get the BCPM GPA to 3.0+ an SMP becomes a realistic option. If you dont have an MD caliber MCAT score dont do an SMP; focus on DO schools and perhaps your state MD programs. Right now and for the near future focus on simply getting A's: 2.7 students should not be projecting themselves to be getting straight A's for the next 1.5 years and calculating such a hypothetical GPA.
