Answer 1

The list of best schools for pre-med is almost exactly the same as the list of best schools. Look at any rankings -- like the ones at US News (see the link below).

The better schools you mention (Chicago, Michigan, Wash U) might be a stretch for you -- but are possible. If your GPA is weighted -- you may need to bring it up a little. If it is unweighted, then make sure you take AP classes -- they will improve the weighted average.

Good luck
