How likely am I to get merit based scholarship? 4.0 sGPA, 3.95 cumulative

[abar]

Hi,

I go to a private university and have a 4.0 science GPA, 3.95 cumulative, and a 39P on my MCATs. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have any hope of receiving merit based scholarship to medical school, and which schools I should explore. I think my stats are good but my EC's are a little weak, so I'm not sure if that will stop me from getting any scholarships.

My EC's are:

• Jazz band for 6 semesters

• Organic chem research for 2 semesters

• volunteering at local ER for 1 semester

• 30 hours of observation in operating room

• 30 hours of shadowing a vascular surgeon

• privately tutoring middle school child in math

• member of EMT corps for school, and the EMT corps scheduling officer (I make sure every shift has coverage)
• employed as an EMT-B at a private ambulance company from June 1st 2011 to present
• medical research into the drug propofol and its affect on the viability of livers for transplant for 1 summer

I'm also going to TA a class for a semester next year, and make sure to do more community service.

Thanks so much for reading this, and I really appreciate any input at all.
