Hi All!!
I'll be applying in June and I need to start putting together a school list so that I know how much money I am going to need to start putting aside for the whole application process. My stats and activities are below. Note that I do not take the MCAT until June, but I took the sample test at the end of January and my percentage corresponded to about a 510 overall (had only done biology and biochemistry review at that point), so I am confident that I can score higher. But anyways, please HELP, your input will actually help me out a lot.
