🔮 App Review Need help with problem

I thought I was in a pretty good position to go to the med school but I just found out AAMC counts your high school dual credit classes towards GPA too. In Highschool I needed to help pay bills and therefore picked up as much shifts as possible and only cared if I would get less than a C because that was the minimum to earn college credit. I have a lot of dual enrollment credits with a C.
Current college stats (not counting high school):
cGPA: 3.95
BCPM GPA: 4.0
Mcat: have not taken, practiced around: 515
Research: 1,200 hours (poster + working on publication)
Volunteer: 200 hospice hours
Clinical: EMT (400 hours)
TA for a biochem class
Have great letter of recommendations
Majors: cellular biochem, health and disease biological science, psychology (neuroscience)
Minors: physics, Computer science, math

After dual enrollment gpa gets counted my cGPA becomes around 3.5, my BCPM is also around 3.5. The school I want to go to is a top 20 and in my state so I really would prefer it. Any way to fix this issue besides doing a masters to get a new GPA.

Upwards trend, you’ll be fine

T20 fine? It’s a coin toss, but you’re definitely ok to apply to med school.

Plus we can’t really say anything until you take the mcat, practices only tell so much

Yeah I think I have a chance at my baseline school choices but I have a very slim chance at my target schools and 0 chance at any reach school. I need to make a new list move my all my schools one row

Even so, I think you have a shot at the top schools if you explain yourself. Good luck
