You can get close to a 3.0, but anything above a 3.85 only means that you don’t have to get such a high MCAT score to compensate to get through primary apps. Past primaries, you’re just the same as everyone academically; your ECs and experience and interview will get you through secondaries.
Please, please, please do not try to choose an “easy” major just so you can get through premed. If you have to do that, then what does that say about your future performance in med school, where you have to deal with an even higher courseload? Pick a major which has upper division classes that you think will interest you; all the bio/life science classes share similar lower-div classes which fulfill med school requirements.
