  1. Don’t see any potential hole in your profile so far. Continue what you are doing/planning and maintain the good GPA.
  2. Take MCAT During semester break in Dec/Jan after doing A,B, C below
    A. Complete Biochem
    B. Practice few full exams
    C. Is Genetics covered in any of the 3 Bio courses you have done/planned to do?
  3. If you plan to take gap year, there is no rush to do MCAT.
  4. There is no harm in applying in 2020-21 cycle also if you sure you will be graduating in spring 2020. But you must plan to take MCAT on or before Mar/April 20 for sure in this case.
  5. If you are CA resident, apply to all public (except UR if you not a resident of that area), USC, Stanford.
  6. You also need to apply to wider variety of schools outside CA both public and private.

Don’t attach any wish / emotion to any particular school because it is as good as trying to determine which slot machine will yield the jackpot. Revisit school list after MCAT score is out and your GPA after fall semester. GL.
