I'm only a junior so obviously my GPA can change and I still need to take my MCAT but I am wondering if there are other areas that I can improve while preparing for my MCAT. Any suggestions on schools to start looking into would also be greatly appreciated. I know it is hard to project without the MCAT but any help would be greatly appreciated.
