I think you have a good shot. Look up a thread called under 3.0 or something like that and you will see lots of people who pulled it off. You do need to bang out the DAT's though and any additional classes you take.

My stats are a little higher then yours, not fantastic though... Im sure u have a chance if u kick the DAT's a$$. Which im planning on doing (Crossing fingers) I would reccomend applying to alot of schools. Im applying to about 12 different schools, and I have researched their average stats and what not to see if I have a chance. Sure it will cost alot, figure the AADSAS fee and 60 bucks for the additional schools. But think about it, its all worth it when you get accepted! Good luck!

make sure you apply EARLY. I unfortunately applied to schools late november. I had around the same GPA with a 24/23/22 DAT and I haven't received any interviews yet.
