If I apply to 20 schools, what are my chances at getting at least a couple acceptance? The BCPM gpa is extremely worrying. I know it will largely be dependent on the MCAT, but...

Pending your mcat I think you have a decent shot.

I am taking the new MCAT which throws things off a bit, but lets say I score average or a tiny bit below average (say a 30-32 on the current scale). Would this be enough, or would it need to be above average for a couple of allopathic acceptances out of 20 applications?

If you get the equivalent of close to average, there are plenty of schools that you'll be competitive for!
