What if I take the AP calculus BC test? (Grants credit for calculus I and calculus II)?

I’ll be at a relatively low tier university (not many medical school applicants, but they have a 100% percent acceptance rate of honors program pre-med students into medical school). They have some graduates in northwestern, mayo clinic, case western, etc…and I’m looking to get into a great medical school. I’ve got a 33 act and 3.874gpa in high school but am choosing to go to a lower tier school because I’m given priority in research, full ride, professors much easier to contact and such…but is it true that I’ll need a 4.0 or extremely close to get into a good school coming from a lower-tier?

I realize that I’m complaining about a 3.7 vs a 4.0…honestly if I -need- to be that anal to get into a great med school then I’ll need to rethink my career path…
