A below 3.0 sGPA is lethal for med school admission (both MD and DO) no matter what MCAT score you get.

Retaking pre-reqs–unless you earned a C- or lower–is a poor idea. Earning an A in a re-take won’t impress anyone. It’s expected that you will get an A in a retake. Adcomms would strongly prefer to see a student take upper level science coursework and ace those classes.

Given your low current sGPA, you will need ~30 additional credits of upper level bio & chem coursework with all As in all of those classes to be a competitive candidate for med school admission.
