Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone can give me some advice about my plans for Med school. I will be a junior at the university of Illinois in Chicago this fall. I am planning on taking the MCAT in April and applying to all my schools in June 2015. My current class is completed and grades are as follows: (50 total credits completed in 1.5 years) projected to graduate with a degree in neuro science exactly 3 1/2 years from the day I started college..

English 2 - B (three weeks summer course)

Please give me some feedback on what you think about my current grades. What are my chances to get into medical school? Like I said, I will be taking the MCAT in April of 2015 and applying to all my schools in June. I want to apply right when schools start accepting applications for enrollment for the fall of 2016. Take a look at my school list and tell me what you think. Do you think I will be competitive. (I project myself to have a final GPA of about 3.7 - 3.75 by the time I apply.) Illinois residents by the way.
