From what i understand, you:

1) Have upward grade trend. (Very Important)
2) Explained your mistakes and how you turned it over in your personal statements. (Good)
3) have a 4.0 Major GPA and (even though they dont count it) show progress in completing your prereqs over summer) (Good)

All three of those things will ABSOLUTELY be considered in reviewing your application and will help you out as well.

Below average GPA showing sharp upward trend looks a lot better than a consistent history of average grades.

In other words. “F’s to A’s” Trumps “Straight B’s” as far as my knowledge goes and my sources tell me.
