Hi I just wanted to know what my chances are of getting into med school
I still have 12 more classes left (9 are BCPM), I plan to study hard however during my first year I kind of screwed up but I've pulled an upward trend with a 4.0 for the past year
I have science gpa of 3.3 and cumulative 3.6, I'm hoping to take ochem this summer
Also should I study for the mcats this fall and take it next summer? Is that enough time as ill be studying for it along with my science classes

Please give some feedback on my gpa and how long I should study ahead of time for mcat?
Thank you!!!

This seems all over the place. You seem to want assurance, more than advice. No one can help you unless u calm down and write more systematically. Specify what classes u need to take, how many years you have left, etc. If u want to go to an MD school, you should aim for a 3.5 bcpm GPA. With 9 science classes left, I think it's doable. I'd say focus on raising that GPA before giving your fall semester away for the MCAT. U should study the MCAT only with a very very light course load if you plan to study during the semester and only if u plan to take the test soon afterr. But in your case, I'd say focus on your classes for now. Some say MCAT could be more important than GPA, but that's ONLY if the GPA hits a certain mark. A poor GPA looks really bad. Good news is u got some time to bring it up and have the potential too, so work hard and it will.
