What do I need to do to succeed?

Recently, on Sdn, there was a premed from Columbia U with 3.0 gpa applied for med school and did not go anywhere including DO schools. My suggestion for you is to work in a CE field upon your graduation for 5 years and return to apply for med school as non-traditional. Why? Because after 5 years, your college gpa is going to be ignored by med school and your post bacc grades and Mcat scores will be more prevalent.
