Unsure About My Chances

So I'm trying to keep a positive mindset, but I'm unsure about my chances of getting in. I'll be applying to about 12 schools to give me the best odds, but I'm worried about my GPAs. My cgpa from undergrad was a 3.05, I screwed around a lot my first three years, but my major gpa was about a 3.45. I basically had to take all my prereqs after graduating because I didn't know I wanted to go into PT until my last year of undergrad. If I get As on the remaining 2 classes, I'll have a prereq gpa of 3.43-3.6 depending on the program, but that's after getting a D in physics and retaking it and getting a B. Some pretty gnarly personal stuff happened that semester which led to that first grade. I also had to drop chem and get a W due to finances, but I retook that and got a B as well. I'm just worried that first D and W will turn away programs. I'll also be retaking the GRE next month so I'm hoping I nail it.

What to you guys think? I'm hoping I'm more worried than I should be.

Don’t be discouraged! But it all depends on what schools your applying to. If you’re applying to the cheaper schools like the state schools it may be toucher to get into, since everyone is trying to get into those programs due to the price. But if you’re applying to private schools you probably have a better chance. But don’t be discourage, just try your hardest to get A’s in the rest of your classes.
