cGPA 3.63, sGPA 3.42, MCAT pending, possible med schools?

[ClayB123]

I just completed undergrad with a BS in Dietetics, nutrition, and food sciences. I've taken my pre-med courses, including two 200-level BIOC courses (Both A- grades), Anatomy and physio (A grade), and Pharm (A grade). "B-" in Orgo 1, "A" in Orgo 2. "B to B+"s in both BIOL and PHYS semesters. Never got a C in a class, so find it unnecessary to retake any courses.

Experience:
100+ hours volunteering in hospital ICU,
6-month work experience as a medical scribe in the ER,
1 year-present working as a surgical tech in the operating room during summer/breaks.

Applying to MS Medical Science program for next Fall to strengthen my academic credentials and gain research/shadowing experience prior to med school.

Haven't taken MCAT - want to spend next year/summer studying while pursuing master's so that I can crush it when the time comes.

Thinking ahead, if I score highly on the MCAT and keep up EC's, any recommendations for which MD schools I would be competitive to attend?

This can't be answered without an MCAT score

So it goes, The MCAT tells all. I'm new to SDN so any advice helps. Study tips?

Maybe try excercises to improve attention to detail?

Just as an FYI, a cumulative GPA is ALL your course GPA and not your GPA added up.
