-held up to 3 jobs at one time during my undergrad studies, including a departmental assistant and teacher's lab assistant
-am taking the MCAT in July, practice tests show 31-33...
-bad grade (B-) in orgo II
-A's in Gen Chem I & II, Physics I & II

Also, i have a steady upward trend from freshman year.

Can you guys give me some advice and comment whether you think i have a fighting chance at allo schools? thanks in advance

Sure you do. Get that 31-33 and you've got a great shot.

also, would it be wise to mention a learning handicap that was found late in my undergrad studies? or would that be unnecessary?

Hm...I guess it depends what the handicap is. If it's something that you've been able to deal with/overcome, and can use that story as an "overcoming adversity" type of story, you could add it. But if it's just going to come off as an excuse, personally, I would keep it out of the PS.
