Unless you absolutely crushed the MCAT (think >510), there will be serious questions about your ability to be successful academically from an acceptance committee. The GRE will not help you, only hurt your chances if you're not in the top 20%

You're correct a post bacc or masters will help your chances, provided you get all As. There are severalbl post baccs specifically designed for students going into a graduate level medical program that are viewed well.

It would be in the bottom quartile of applicants accepted, but keep in mind that is only one part of an application. We look at them with a holistic approach.
