Thanks for the input so far, everyone. They are very encouraging. For the record, I'm not actually from Australia. I was there for exchange, but I'm back in Vancouver (forgot to change my location). First and foremost, I would prefer to a medical school education in North America. I'll probably try some Australian schools as well.

I admit, it seems ridiculous hearing a 21 year old semi-freaking out... but knowing full well the admission process and the typical admitted applicants, I'm quite sure that I'm more of an outlier. I have some friends who have either gone through the process or have been recently accepted. Not surprisingly, they all match the 3.8-4.0 GPA, nearly perfect MCAT score, science grad, and impressive extracurricular, demographic. All of these people are entering or have entered med at 21/22.
