You have to speak to the counselors at the individual schools, honestly, NYC is very competitive and I don't know that a 2.9 is going to cut it. You should have really at least a B if not an A in your science pre-requisites. If you can I would try and do over any C's you may have and maybe take any other core classes in order to boost your GPA.

But most importantly, talk to the counselors at the schools you wish to apply to.

When looking at the minimum GPA for programs, please remember that that is the lowest GPA the school with accept but that most applicants are all above that GPA. You have to think about the others you are competing against, and I don't think a 2.9 will really cut it. I hate to be so cut and dry, but to be competitive for most programs you are looking at at least a 3.6 depending on where you are.

Cs in the core sciences will be an issue. I would definitely recommend possibly retaking them for a higher grade to become more competitive.
