Your gpa is pretty low, the only school in the big 4 that allows no mcat is saba, and I think your low gpa and no mcat would hurt your case for saba.

I would recomend taking the mcat. You have a decent chance at Ross if you can hit a score around 24.

If you dont want to take the mcat, You can try a smaller less reputable school like AUA ( I think they dont require the mcat), you probably have a chance there. But remember schools outside the big 4 are not accepted everywhere in the US

just take the MCAT. Your GPA is terribly low. Take the MCAT see if you can actually study and make a decent score on it. Maybe you dont want to take it because it will show that along with the bad GPA, med school is probally not the best option for you. You need to be really honest with yourself, if your GPA is that low and you cant score decent on the MCAT realistically your not going to end up with an MD but just alot of debt and no way to pay it back after failing out.

I was accepted to UAG and Ross and my undergraduate GPA was a 2.6, but my Masters GPA in Biology was a 3.5. MCAT 24. Was your graduate GPA better than your prereq GPA. If you can just show that you have matured in your graduate work and take the MCAT for sure, you need better than or equal to a 22, you will have a decent chance. Also, If Ross denies you, you can always ask for their MERP program which they will probably offer. This one girl had a 2.1 GPA and a 22 MCAT and was offered MERP. MERP is basically you take a semester worth of foundation courses and if you pass you automatically in for the next starting semester. I think SGU is a lil harder to get into as their avg. entering stats are better. Hope this helps.
