Hello,

From the information you provided it does look like you’d be competitive at the programs you mention – with absolutely stellar applications and compelling goals.

Regarding the early low GPA, it looks like you’ve really turned it around – your ending GPA and your grad GPA together show a consistent record of high academic achievement. You still might consider a brief explanation in an optional essay acknowledging the early problems and stating how once matured you really blossomed academically and realized your true potential.
