The MCAT is not directly connected to your academic record because it tests your ability to process information based on what you learned. Getting a great score is up to your preparation built on your foundation, not the foundation itself.

I assume with such a late test date that you will be applying next cycle.

What were your year by year gpas? What you showed us is your cumulative GPA per year, and that's not how we can tell that you have an upward trend.

If you got all A's over the last 60 credits then your Junior and Senior year should be both 4.0's or close to it. That would be a spectacular reinvention, and I don't think you need a post back or a special Masters program as long as you have a very good MCAT score. There are definitely MD schools that believe in reinvention.

Also, your numbers as of right now are good enough for DO schools with an MCAT score like 505 or better
