as someone who does admissions for a state medical school...you need at least a 3.5 GPA overall and science...clearly the higher the better (some schools may be higher)...you need to find what are the min admission MCAT for your school...this only gets you the interview

Then you need to demonstrate service over a significant period of time...i cannot emphasize this enough

The interiview is very important...everything else mentioned is superfluous...you get a bump for being black, hispanic or native american...some schools give you a bump if you state in your interview that you plan on going into primary care...regardless, you tend to get thougt of favorably if you state that you want to do peds, FP, IM in some remote place or work for the Indian Health Services...
