Not very good unless you take almost all science courses and get straight A grades. You might want to take 5 years to graduate so that you can show that you are a great science student.

Well you need to pass 2 semesters of college level Chemistry and 2 semesters of college level Physics, 2 semesters of Calculus, 2 semesters of English. your chances don’t seem good with those classes over such a short period of time

There are post-bac pre-med programs and they are usually a year long. These programs are for people who have already graduated college and want to go to medical school but don’t have the prerequisite science classes. You might want to consider this because this way you will be to focus solely on science courses.
