Your ridiculous dat score and upward trend make up for the gpa. You'd get multiple interviews without question as a normal applicant.. Main problem is how late you're gonna be verified (mid September) and then reviewed by schools (maybe mid October) which leaves little time for pre December interviews.
As long as you're cognizant of the added challenge of going for post Dec interviews, then i guess you could always apply now. Otherwise, with a year of updates, you'd be a perfectly decent candidate next cycle.
