3.3 isn’t bad for freshman year. Even if you don’t do diddly squat to change your studying habits, your GPA should still rise as you progress through college simply because curves get more generous in upper div classes. I’d expect you to finish at around 3.5 even if you don’t make an effort to study more.

The US News Primary Care rankings are pretty much useless. When I say “top” med school, I’m talking about the ones ranked in the top 20 or 25 in the research rankings. So, by that definition, Dartmouth is a fine med school but not really what I’d consider a top med school. Of course, it’s really not necessary to go to a top med school unless you plan on a career in academic medicine.
