If I do this major with these classes, then Will I be able to go to medical school?
I am majoring in Biochemical Engineering and I really want to go to medical school. My top choices are Stanford University, Harvard University, Yale University, UCSF, UCLA, USC.

Will I be able to apply to medical school? Thank you for your help.
For the schools you mention probably not. They only take the cream of the cream which to be blunt your grades do not indicate you are. For most medical schools though you will probably get in. With those subjects and grades you should be fine.
Thanks

This is precisely why you should have an (admin) advisor of some sort.
