I am deciding whether to apply at the end of next year or wait a year, boost the GPA higher and then go for broke. What do you all think? And could you suggest some schools for me as well that you think id be in at?

Here are my predicted stats--these are very conservative numbers, so as long as I don't become a drug addict or something I will have these-theres no reason why I wouldnt
White male, top 30 university, history major, chem minor
cGPA: 3.57 (some serious upward trend)
sGPA: 3.37
MCAT: havent taken but i expect 30-32 very even...hopefully but lets just use this for now since this is what my practices say and I still have another year.
EC's...this is kindve where I shine.
-EMS experience since 2002, EMT since 2006
-3 paid, part time EMT jobs-still employed
-Volunteer EMS agency since 2002
Resulting EMS awards: county award for actions resulting in the delivery of a baby girl, agency award for commendable service, fundraising committee member (would have raised $5,000 for our new building), youth squad co-adviser, will have approximately 3,000 hours of riding hours and over 500 calls
Other clinical experience: 1 year of radiology research, 2 years IR shadowing, 2 years shadowing cardiothoracic surgery, 2 years shadowing chief surgeon of the NYPD (chief of the medical division)
I founded an public health and safety organization-working for it to become the university's first rescue squad
Other EC's: Crisis Hotline volunteer, New Student liason volunteer (I visit HS's and answer questions in the admissions office), Intern for honor and ethics course x 2 years
LOR's-2 science, 2 history, 1 philosophy, 2 doctors (1 is the chair of the angio dept. and 1 is the chief surgeon of the NYPD) all will be outstanding
if there is anything else you need, let me know
