What are my chances?

Makes sense.

Would you say my chances are decent provided I manage to bring it up above a 3.50? (mathematically, a 3.60ish would be possible for about 6 undergrad years if I choose to go that far). I know you can’t give a definite answer, but I just would like some perspectives to decide if it’s worth going 100% towards medical school.

On top of that, I want to do some medicine related volunteer work to help bolster my resume, though the aspect of my resume that I fear will be most lacking will be my GPA.

If my odds aren’t very good, I may have to consider an alternative (engineering is another one I’m considering) that will be more stable. I am willing to invest everything I have into getting into med-school provided it won’t prove to be an overtly risky path (I know of many people who couldn’t get into a medical school and was stuck with a degree that they didn’t know what to do with).
