Was a little apprehensive about asking, but curiosity got the best of me. What are my chances, if any?

cumulative GPA: ~2.5
science GPA: ~2.8
MCAT: 29S

GPA's a bit low, I know. Otherwise, good letters of rec, research exp, did work in clinic, etc. Thanks!

29 is above average for AUC, but I would hardly call it outstanding. There are also probably a lot more dismal GPA's at AUC.

The MCAT will likely make up for the low GPA.

29 is an outstanding score to get into AUC and not too shabby otherwise

not too good. your gpa and mcat are lower than average. yes, take your mcat again. that might improve your chances.

What are MY chances...

Cum. GPA 3.33 Biochem major
BCPM 3.29

MCAT: 40 (11VR, 15PS, 14BS)

Will they take me on MCAT alone?

Volunteer EMT, research, some hospital volunteering, habitat for humanity, etc.

I would get that GPA up and go stateside. You will get into AUC - nobody here has a 40.
