How do US med schools view second degrees?

there is no such policy in the US... they require ALL your grades including your undergrad

 

Fair enough. Does that mean I don't have a shot at a mid/top tier medical school GPA-wise or will the upward trend be of significant importance?

from what I've seen, MCAT could save you if your GPA is below average, basically average requirements for US medical schools are 3.6-8 GPA and 33 MCAT, now if you score higher on your MCAT, you would definitely have a chance.. plus USAs approach is holistic, meaning they don't focus only on one specific thing.. so if your gpa is low you can make it up by focusing on your ECs and MCAT
