I am applying to a few schools and have gotten an interview but I was wondering what people's thoughts were on Science gpa vs the MCAT. I got a 27 (10 BS, 9 VR, 8 PS) but I have a sub par science gpa. I had mainly Cs in my intro science classes, a damn D in org I. After this I got my act together A- in org II and Bs in physic classes and upper level bios. Anyone have any thoughts, obviously adcom's probably aren't happy but there is an upward trend....

Well, the above thread is specifically adressing pre-allo, but I think the processes are similar enough to give you some insight.

You have to take that Orgo I over before it is considered. After that only the new grade is calculated by AACOMAS, now for allo schools they will average the grades. Unfortunately neither will accept a pre-rec with a grade under C-.
