well undergrad gpa isn't so hot, but you rocked the post-bac!! I would apply widely--like 20+ schools! And make sure to improve plenty of private schools such as Tufts, NYU, etc. These schools typically are less competitive due to the high tuition. How long did you study for the dat? If you think you could score a few points higher by studying for two more months and retaking then certainly do so. But if not the 20 AA is completive. Best of luck..and list some schools you plan on applying to.

I think you have a pretty good chance, GPA might be a slight problem but you've shown a nice upward trend.

Your postbac+research and other ECs look exceptional. If you can get spiritual leader letter of rec, definitely LLU.
I personally think you will get in as long as you don't screw up PS or interview..

Currently just looking at WesternU, LLU, UOP, UCSF, UCLA, NYU, and UNLV. Of course I will be applying to more than that probably 15+. I had an interview at WesternU from the last cycle and was wait-listed so I am hopeful for this cycle.
