3.5 cGPA 3.2 sGPA URM Non-Trad WAMC?

[peudamour]

Hello everyone,

I just graduated with a B.A. in Spanish, currently doing post-Bacc work. I had a rough time my freshman year (a lot was going on in my life), but after a lot of work, I decided to be Pre-Med 1.5 years ago. I have done well in my most recent science courses. My stats:

cGPA 3.5 with upward trend--Freshman 3.1, Sophomore 3.3 Junior, 3.7 Senior 3.83
sGPA 3.2 with upward trend--Freshman 2.9, Junior 3.8 Senior 3.8 Post-Bacc 4.0 so far...

I have one year before I take the MCAT and apply=3 semesters in which it is possible to get to 3.45 sGPA and 3.6 cGPA.
Should I apply in one year, or give myself another year to raise my stats?

It won't keep you out if your MCAT is strong.
