i think your high mcat score is going to help you out

What was your major? What kind of uptrend did you have? Your GPA is the most worrisome aspect of your application, however everything else seems really good. I would give it a shot but take the postbacc program. This way, if you don't get in this year, you are ready for next year's application cycle with improved grades. Don't freak out too much about your GPA. Your MCAT score implies you are smart enough for med school, you just need to prove you have the dedication and focus to get the good grades for it. A post-bacc would be perfect for you.
