So my advisor told me that most students follow a direct relationship with their GPA. (start off low, and steadilty increase untill they eventually plateau). Until I introduced her to the check mark.
My gpas per semester listed with my science classes:
3.14-
B in Gen chem 1

1.96
D in Gen Chem 2
D in Bio 202 (introduction to cellular)

2.55
B in Gen Chem 2
C+ in Bio 201 (introduction to ecosystems)
C+ in bio 204 (introductory lab)

3.09
B in Microbiology
C in bio 203 (introduction to physiology)
B in physics 1
C+ in bio 205 (introductory lab p2)

3.45
A in bio 150 (introduction bio)
B+ in org chem 1
C+ in phys 2

This semester so far:
A in orgo 1 (expecting A-)
A in bio 358- human social sexual behavior (expecing A)
And 2 electives (expecting A- or higher in each)

Overall expected for the semester: 3.7+.
Overall cum expected: 3.0

Ogpa- 2.87
Scgpa~2.7
nsGpa~3.6

The main problem is that I have 2 D's (one retaken for a B) both of them as you can probably tell are during that 1.96 semester. I am retaking the second D this upcoming semester (fall) and hoping for an A. If you dont count both D's im hovering somewhere aroudn a 3.0 Ogpa.

So assuming that I get the 3.7+ and continue to do that well, what do you guys think my chances of getting in will be. If I continue to get 3.7+'s for the next 2 semesters (after this one) I can probably graduate around a 3.3

I have good dentist recommendations. I will be a TA for organic chem 1 and introductory bio next semester so those are my two teacher recommendations. I also have a good LOR from a non science professor (former dean of my school).
Also excluding the DAT since I wont be taking it till next year (going to need my senior scores to count so I have to take a year off)

If you can pull your existing 2.8 to a 3.3.... then certainly this will bring your science to even higher.... maybe 3.4? 3.3 with 3.4 are decent according to today's standards, but its hard to judge your chances without a DAT score.

Assuming 3.3 / 3.4 science / and 20 AA / 20TS, you have a good shot. Applying early and aiming at 12-15 schools should do the trick.

all the best

Just remember...

Your current school may replace the Ds with the most recent grade on the retake BUT AADSAS will not.

What does this mean to you? It means that when you calculate out your science gpa and overall gpa that you have to include the Ds in the average. You can not simply replace them with the Bs or As that you got. 👍

My school doesnt either so dont worry about that haha. And yea im hoping to be able to bring it up to a 3.3 by the time I graduate. Ive already taken practice PAT's and scored 21s + (crackpat) so I know I will do on that section lets just hope I do well on the rest lol.
Thx for the imput guys.
