pre-PA to premed, so chances?

[collegestudent0717]

Hi! I'm considering switching over to premed but I was wondering what my chances would be since I've been working toward a pre-PA path.

Many PA shadowing hours (which I'm assuming won't matter)

Volunteering 300+ hours: Veteran's hospital ER volunteer, veteran's hospital vital-taker volunteer, mentor for a child with autism at a children's hospital, and teaching English at an Italian elementary school

Certifications: Phlebotomy, wine spectator certification

Involvement: sorority, honors humanities abroad intersession, study abroad semester Italy, volunteer club, pre-PA club, senior thesis

Leadership: campus coordinator for club, study abroad peer mentor

GPA: 3.55, sGPA: 3.4, BS Biology
Haven't taken mcat yet!

Any advise? I'm pretty sure I'll be taking a gap year but didn't know if my GPA and the fact that I'm switching pretty late would make a negative impact. I also got a C in genetics (no idea how that happened) and I feel like that might just ruin my application (??)

Much depends on your MCAT score. When are you taking the MCAT ? Where is your state of residence?

I'm looking to take it this summer/early fall! and I live in MO and go to college in AR.
