Second Bachelors

I'm considering getting a second Bachelors (about 50 credits) and assuming I do well, this should raise my GPA to about 3.5c and 3.4s. If during the second Bachelors I retook the MCAT and scored well, would this be a wise course of action? During the second Bacheor's I plan to beef up my ECs and shadow, etc.

Would Adcoms consider this "reinvention" and see that I'm capable of handling medical school?

1) since you already have a degree, any additional work will br calculated by AMCAS as a post bacc, whether used to earn an additional degree or not
2) looking at an overall single GPA number as an indicator of your chances. You need to calculate your AMCAS GPA Grid to show trends by year as well as BCPM and AO
3) without knowing what coursework you already have and what you are planning to take. Without those details, it is impossible to advise

1. Would this still increase my overall undergraduate gpa?
2. My trend: Downward trend in Junior/Senior year for BCPM; pretty high and consistent AO
3. I have a minor in Biology; I'm planning on pursuing a second Bachelors in Biochem
