Hey guys. I am currently in my second year of study at a Canadian university. I have a 4.0 GPA, but I haven't taken the MCAT yet. My main question is how can I improve my ECs to a more competitive level? I volunteered for four months as a tutor at a local high school (2 hrs/week) in my first year. I also have volunteered on and off at a care home (for seniors with dementia) since I was 15. I'm really concerned because even though my academics are really strong, I know right now I have no chance getting in to any Canadian medical schools. I've looked into shadowing a doctor a lot, but I've essentially hit a dead end. My school also has really limited research opportunities for undergraduates (esp. in first and second year). I feel like I'm at a standstill, and I'm wondering how I can improve my shots. I've considered getting a summer research position, a summer internship, volunteering abroad, joining campus clubs, tutoring again... etc. I'm in desperate need of advice!
Also, my senior year of high school I was involved in a ton of clubs, committees, and I led a campaign that raised over $20,000 for charity. I also won a few major awards. Do medical schools care about high school experiences at all?
