Nice MCAT. Good luck.

I think you will be fine. You will definitely get some interviews. Apply to all of your state schools.

Those who applied with a 3.55/36 in past years had a 75% chance of an acceptance. Your upward grade trend, depending on how steep, should help you, especially if you have some As in upper-level Bio recently.

You should try to get some leadership in if you have any time for it, otherwise if you apply broadly I think you'll be fine.

Hey guys thanks for all of your advice/input. I have another question, how many schools do you think I should apply to?

 

[Crystaal]

My advising office recommends 15-20 schools, if that's any help.

Depends on how competitive you perceive yourself to be. I'd recommend 20 schools--including safeties and reach schools--even if you're at the 3.8+/38+ level to stay on the safe side.
