Do you think with these stats I can make it to BS/MD of US university?
BS/MD programs are extremely, extremely competitive. I’m not going to say anything’s impossible (especially after two gap years), but I have a bad feeling. You might want to ask on the multiple degree programs section of CC, or even call up a less selective (maybe BS/DO) program and ask how they would see your grades.
If it helps at all, getting sick lowered my GPA to a 3.7, and it hurt my college applications (which were not BS/MD) despite well-documented medical reasons.
You are clearly a strong candidate otherwise. Why not go for a state school, shine in undergraduate, and then apply to a top medical school later on? Wouldn’t hassle of applying be worth not being burdened by those grades in medical school admissions?
It doesn’t seem very likely as he seems to be from India and most BS/MD programs don’t consider international applicants.

Absolutely 0% shot at BS/MD US based programs. You’d be better off applying to MBBS programs in the UK or India.
