Low GPA High MCAT -Am I ducked?

[sparksflyup]

3.43 cGPA, 3.28 sGPA (from HYP)

526 MCAT

White girl, graduated 2015

Wasn't "pre-med" as an undergrad (hence the GPAs) but did tons of community service. Now I'm working full-time in a research position at a pretty cool bio-tech company and still do a lot of service.

I've sifted through some forums but was wondering if anyone had opinions on my chances/good schools to apply to? SDN has me hardcore panicking

You got a 526...you're most definitely not ducked. If you're truly concerned about your GPA you might want to consider a SMP but I'm doubting it's necessary.

You have a mismatch with a very high MCAT and relatively low GPA so it is difficult to pick schools for you so you need to apply to many schools. However, your high MCAT should attract attention at some schools. Apply this month and submit all your secondaries by August.
