Hallo. I am an undergraduate student at Wayne State University. This is my third year, but I think I am still a sophomore. Up to this moment I didn't do anything like volunteering, researching, and shadowing a doctor. My grades are good though - GPA = 3.8. I also worked a lot (as a cashier, so I don't think it counts). Because I don't understand everything very well, I feel like I lost a lot of time when I could be doing all those things. I am about to start volunteering at a hospital. So these are some good news for my progress. Also as I heard from other people and from reading this forum, it is also necessary to do research and to shadow a doctor. For research, how do people get into it? Do you need to have contacts? Also, roughly how many hours of research, volunteering, and shadowing are necessary? Do you think I will be able to catch up on these things in under 2 years? Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thank you!
Thank you!
