Medical schools do not consider your graduate gpa. They evaluate your fitness for admission based on undergrad GPA. They will see the MPH as a nice extra. If your undergrad GPA is a problem, take more undergrad courses, specifically upper-division biology, micro, etc. They are "post-bac" but will count towards lifting up that undergrad GPA. Depending on how many credit hours you already have, it may take many classes to have the impact on your GPA that you are looking for.
If your MCAT was under 30 or you had any sections scored less than a 10, a retake might be a good idea, but beyond that, it probably isn't going to make a huge difference.
Also: if you call some of the schools you were rejected from, they may tell you why you didn't get in.
In short, don't go to USC. It will impact your loan eligibility down the line for med school, not to mention add another $100K to your tab. Not worth it. If worse comes to worse, save that money for a special master's program (SMP- there's a forum about those here as well as an entire forum for re-applicants).
