Hey everyone, so about to enter my junior year of college and as everyone knows this is quite a critical year. I plan on applying the traditional route and I'm just looking if there is any advice you guys could give in order to improve my app or if I should maybe wait an take a gap year after college. My GPA is probably headed in the 3.7ish range for Science and 3.8 for overall. I am signed up to take my MCAT later this summer but will reschedule if I don't feel prepared. Aiming for a 512+ hopefully. Below are what my extracurriculars are shaping up to be.
-Membership in a Pre med Fraternity
-Volunteering with a non profit organization(aiming for 100-150 hours)
-Research for 1.5 years(Aiming to get some sort of publication or poster presentation next year)
-Leadership in 2 Student Organizations
-Leadership through 2 University Departmental organization(One of which is SG)
-Volunteer 2 semesters with local hospital
Right now aiming to get some more clinical and nonclinical volunteering opportunities in as well as shadowing. Have no shadowing as of now but will hopefully be able to shadow 2-3 physicians throughout the next year. Any advice will truly be appreciated. Thank you all in advance
