I have about a 3.4 gpa, what kind of mcat score would give me competitive shot at mid to lower ranking US schools?
What about at CA schools?

- working with a professor in PH (possible publication)

and the volunteering is good. when i interviewed, my only real experiences medically were 2 summers of near-full time research, a 1-week job shadow, and about 7 months of volunteering @ 4 hours/week. so if you did the volunteering for 6ish months at 4+ hours/week, i'd think you're looking golden.
