Hey, first off thanks a lot for taking the time here!

School: University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign
Degree(s): Honors Biology and (most likely) Chemistry
The honors bio degree program's really solid, letting us play with RNA interference, perform biopsies, and plenty of other really unique labs. Class size is limited to 15 students per year and each class is taught by 3 instructors simultaneously.
GPA: 3.61, Science GPA: 3.61
MCAT: 37R, 13 VR, 13 Bio, 11 PS

Extracurriculars:
-Speakers coordinator for a campus global health org,
-hospital volunteer for 2 and a half years,
-10-15 hrs/wk for 1.5 years in an environmental science lab with one pub on a novel technique I helped develop (It's a hobby, I'm a geek 😀 ),
-20hrs/week for 1.5 years in a microbiology lab with an honors thesis in the works,
-Special Undergraduate Research on the Environment Fellow
-Intern this summer at the World health Org in Switzerland, working on a project looking at historical precedents of the current state of Chronic Disease in Maharashtra and assembling a standard database for easy citations.

One lab head rec letter, one Honors program head rec letter, one biology teacher rec letter (The bosses here at WHO are really hands-off)

So far my list looks like:
Columbia
NYU
JHU
U of Chicago
Rush
Northwestern
Stanford
Washington University (Hey, a guy can dream, I guess)
Duke
Dartmouth
Albert Einstein
Mayo Clinic
Vanderbilt
Tufts
University of Melbourne (some thoughts behind this one)
Loyola
Dartmouth
Yale
Harvard

I know my GPA's low for most, or all of these schools, but I'm hoping the MCAT and extracurrics can make up for it. Thanks again for taking a look at this!!

Way too many upper tier schools. You will be competing with people who have all of your outstanding EC's plus a high GPA and MCAT. That is not to say that you have no chance at getting in. The best thing that you can do is be humble while applying.
