Here's my situation. I have a 2.8 cumulative GPA and 3.0 science GPA. I started off really bad my first couple of years of college (1.47 GPA). I partied way too much. Then when I got my head on straight, I have been having 4.0 semesters. I have A's in all my 300 and 400 level science classes. I took my DATs this month and scored the following: PAT:22, ORG:28, BIO:23, GCHEM:23, TS:24, RC:22, MATH:18 🙁 , AA:23. Praise God. I applied to U of I in chicago, Southern Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. My #1 choice is U of I in chicago because I'm from chicago. Anyone know what my chances are to any of these schools ? Also, I've always wanted to attend UPenn, but I didn't apply because of my GPA. Does anyone think I should give it a try? or is it just a waste of money? I really need an honest opinion. Thanks.

I would say you have a pretty decent chance. They definitely look for improvement during your undergrad years, which you have obviously done! This alone shows dedication. You DAT scores are very very competitive. I wouldn't worry too much.
