Really aim for a 30+ but make sure you do something significant in your time off. While an MPH is great - this doesn't make you different from the next applicant. Many applicants have a 30+ MCAT a 3.5+ gpa and a masters degree. Attempt to make yourself different from the crowd rather than trying to blend in.

Good luck.

Depends on the rest of your application and your state of residence.

For a number of MD schools, not even a 45 will save your app. MSAR Online is your friend. The median GPA for matriulants is 36. The median MCAT score is ~31.

Your number are fine for the bottom tier MD schools, new schools, and all DO schools.
