What should I shoot for?

[bella_dottoressa]

I'm an Ohio resident...and wondering what kind of stats I should shoot for in order to feel like I'm good to go as far as getting into any of the Ohio schools...specifically OSU b/c that's where I'm at now and would love to stay...Like what MCAT and what GPA? I've heard 34 MCAT and you're good to go...? Also, I would really like to apply early decision to OSU...what kind of applicant should I be in order to do that? Thanks as always for your wonderful advice.
Oh, and congratulations to everyone getting acceptances! I'm so happy for all of you!!!!!!!

Case=very hard
OSU/Cinci=hard
MCO/Wright=not as hard, but still hard
NEOUCOM=hard because there are very few spots for traditional med students, although their avg. mcat is pretty low.

If you have a 28 or > MCAT and >3.5 gpa you have a good shot at getting into at least one Ohio school.
