Stats:
3.08 cgpa
3.45 sgpa
4.0 grad. gpa (Halfway through SMP - will be done by the time I apply next year)
39 MCAT (1 attempt - viable at many, though not all, of the schools on this list. I'm considering a retake, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it).
There is a large upward trend in the cgpa, with a 3.98 gpa over the last ~90 credit hours of undergrad (mostly upper div. science courses).

I applied to 2 schools this cycle (I didn't think that I had any chance at all with my cgpa, but to my surprise I received 2 II's). But in the event that I don't get in this cycle, how does this list look for next cycle? Are there any schools that I should drop/add? Are there any glaring deficiencies in my application (apart from the atrocious gpa, of course). Of course, this school list would be contingent upon a reputable performance in the later half of my SMP.
Thank you all in advance for your time.
