question about admissions

Ok sorry everyone, I know this may seem like a stupid question.
What do you think are my chances of admission based on my stats?

3.70 Overall GPA. A's and B's in all of my science coursework, except in Organic Chemistry. It looks like I will be getting a ''C'' (my only C ever) in Organic Chemistry (the professor is horrible!)

....so then, how important is this grade in organic chemistry to admissions? Can a ''C'' in that class severly impact my chances for admission? I heard that, since Medical Schools have a heavy biochem curriculum, they may place more emphasis on that organic chem grade for admissions, than other aspects of the application. Is that true?

Finally, based on practice tests, I predict I can get an MCAT score in the range of 25-29. And I have some hospital volunteer experience, good shadowing experience at a clinic, and good letters of rec.

thanks for the feedback.......
