I also would wait another year. I think your GPA is improving, but still a bit of a disadvantage. I think you would be better off to keep improving (make that a Must Do on your list). Then the first termGPA can be chalked up to adjustment. Now it’s too likely to look like it is the “real you.” You want to really get up as high into the 3.4/3.5+ range as possible for next term.

It’s not your attempts to get into the school that might hurt you if you’re not successful this year; it’s more that you will have created a First Impression that you may not be able to overcome.

Just opinions, but we all seem to have the same gut reaction.
