Ive been thinking and was wondering what schools could I apply to if I got a 3.1GPA with and MCAT of 31.
I have tons of extra activities and some strong LOR. I attend a pretty good liberal arts college(top50) in MA but I am Mexican and from NYC.

I think 3.1 GPA is too low even with URM status

Not necessarily. It may be worth applying to lower tier schools and state schools. Invest in MSAR and see which schools accept low GPAs. In your case since you are a URM you can afford to look at around 10th percentiles. That said, your odds still aren't great. But they aren't 0%.

Okay..... what is your question? The worst case scenario is you get rejected everywhere. I got to be honest, I wouldn't say your odds are great right now. My suggestion is, if you want to apply to med school do it right the first time. Take the year to do some much needed GPA repair. Basically, take some upper division science courses and raise your GPA to make yourself more competitive. While not impossible, you would be taking a huge risk applying as is. Don't rush into this unless you have the money to blow.
