Anyways, I'd apply. I'm thinking of doing the same once I get out of Engineering, just for kicks. If I get in, awesome. If I don't, well, at least you know you've tried, right?

3.3 will not do it for you. Heck, a 3.6-3.7 probably won't do it either.
U of C is sweet b/c you can have a brutal MCAT and still get an interview or have a lower GPA and make up for it in other areas. Basically, there are no "hard" cut offs (IE need a R in verbal reasoning) so that is really beneficial to a lot of applicants.
