Applying to medical school soon. I'm 18 years old and I'm graduating this summer with a bachelors of science in biochemistry. My GPA is a 3.5. I'm also latino/hispanic.
EC:
-volunteering at hospital for more than a year approximately 6 hours a week
-more than 100+ hours of shadowing
-one semester of undergraduate research (doing another this summer in the same lab to finish up my research and hopefully get a publication)
-Went on a medical mission trip to Jamaica
-Played ice hockey since I was 7. Won states twice with my team and also came 2nd at nationals twice.
-volunteered also at numerous places including nursing homes, school libraries, and fundraisers for amsa.

Assuming I do well on the MCAT what are my chances looking like? Also, is it bad to apply at such a young age? Finally, do medical schools look at your major and take that into consideration when looking at your GPA?
