Its the time of the recession in the U.S, so it might be a little harder than in better times.

I'd say your chances are excellent and you do not have to worry so much about it as you are! Take your MCAT and see how you do, I'm sure you'll do just fine. And apply, apply, apply! There are a lot of good med schools in the US.
