when should I apply?

[mspickle]

I am 26 and am hoping to go to medical school, but my ungrad grades are the best. I have a 3.43 overall / 3.04 science gpa (for what it is worth, I went to a top 20 school). I have not yet taken the mcat, but I am planning on taking it this May. I am taking an upper level science course right now at a local college (hopefully will get an A or A-), and will be taking another one this spring. With my grades as they are, should I even bother applying this summer for a chance at a Fall 2008 start? 😕
