Chances are 0 at any MD school despite the rising trend, which really is a B+ and should have been all As.

I think you'd even have troulbe with most DO programs. You would be autorjected at mine.

Suggest doing post-bac/SMP, or, at least re-taking all F/D/C coursework to take advantage of AACOMAS grade replacement policy.

Can you explain what you mean by "despite the rising trend"?
Do any of the MD medical schools have grade replacement policy?
What does SMP stand for?

Despite the fact that your grades improved over the course of your undergraduate years
No.
Special Masters Programs...basically, you pay med school tuition rates to take a year of med school courses, and IF you get really good grades (all As, maybe some Bs) you have a much better shot of getting into med school. Some have linkage, which means you are almost guaranteed a spot if you succeed at the SMP. Of course, you have to apply just to get in to the SMP, and you probably want to do some postbacc work to bring your GPA up to a 3.0 before applying, but perhaps not...I'm not an expert on them.
