GPA Trend: How Do AdComs Assess This?

Not sure if I should have posted this in the WAMC threads but just genuinely curious how admissions committees view trends? Anyone have any insight on this because my first two years of UG were inconsistent to say the very least. This was partly because I didn't commit towards pursuing medicine until halfway through undergrad. For a number of reasons I was influenced towards the direction of medicine and I am very grateful this was the case. Without going on a tangent, here is how my trend looks. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Rising GPA trends are always good, as is aceing an SMP.

Do well on MCAT and you're set.

Yep. Top 20s are probably not realistic except for Columbia (likes reinvention) and WashU (if OP absolutely stomps the MCAT, earning a 523+), but with a 515 or better everything else is quite realistic.
