Honestly? Stop worrying so much about ECs and focus on your grades!

+1 EC's quickly deteriorate in importance if you have a low GPA and MCAT.

We've seen study abroad grades devastate a GPA through students not understanding the harsher grading system in other countries. Hopefully you won't be one of them.

Your time would be better spent raising your BCPM/sGPA through additional coursework at your home institution.

On top of this, some schools don't accept foreign coursework, so be careful...
