Hey everyone! What are my chances of getting in with these stats. Low freshman year and upward trend since then:

Freshman year
cGPA: 2.88 sGPA: 3
Sophomore year
cGPA: 3.7 sGPA 3.72
Junior year
cGPA: 3.78 sGPA: 3.82
Overall:
cGPA: 3.52 sGPA: 3.6

I am taking the MCAT in 3-4 weeks and hoping for 512+. I've taken Kaplan exams and I've been scoring 504-507 and I heard most people score 5-10 higher on the real MCAT. If I get at least 512, what are my chances of getting in and what schools should I apply to with my scores? Iowa resident so I am for sure applying to University of Iowa. Other than that mostly midwest schools and Indiana university since my family moved there recently

It is difficult to give you a list of schools without an actual MCAT score. Post your score here when available and we can advise you as to which schools you can apply to.
