If your GPA in your science classes is higher than your overall GPA, that will increase your chances. It doesn't really matter what you major in for US med schools as long as you do well in all your pre-med courses. It sounds like you've already graduated.... if that's the case, it will matter what you've been doing since graduation. Some medical schools take more students from "non-US" universities than others, so you may want to research which schools you'll have the best chance of getting into.
