How do medical school admission teams regard GPA trends?

My GPA trend:

Started at a 2.4, now it is at 3.68. I suffered from severe depression, but got help, which is why my GPA increased so much.

The past year I have taken over 23 credits each quarter (some 26 credits), averaging over a 3.9 GPA for those quarters. I had to overload to make-up for my original GPA.

How will medical schools view this? I'm nervous because I started with such a low GPA.

Thanks so much.

Lol, thanks. I am new to this community, so I'm going a little HAM.

Med schools love upward GPA trends. Your GPA is fine for a whole lot of MD schools, as well as all DO schools. Focus on killing the MCAT, make sure your ECs are good, apply wisely, and you'll be fine.

If you keep posting new threads, I'm gonna start calling you neuroticatgirl.
