Also, it has been posted many times on here, but take upper level science courses and a full time schedule to prove your academic readiness. I advise to take it easy at first and then add extra as you go on. For example, my 1st semester I took 10 credits, worked, and did a mini internship at an orthopedic office but my last semester I was taking 17 credits, working, doing research, and volunteering. Before doing any of this though, research different study plans and NEVER cram before an exam. Study a little bit every day and it will amaze you how well you can perform and this will help in medical school or so I have heard.
Finally, because it's mathematically impossible for us to achieve actual competitive GPAs, everything else on your application should be amazing. Your MCAT will be even more important than normal applicants and you want to have such high quality extracurriculars that it almost hides the poor GPA. I had over 7,000 clinical hours, a ton of leadership experience, a wonderful volunteering story and added research as the cherry on top.
