Nontrad, 24 years old, took 2 years for science prereqs+ some graduate course work+some additional bio (because learning is fun). I will be done at the end of May.
3.6 cGPA
3.75 sGPA
60 hrs nonclinical volunteering
30 hrs clinical volunteering
2 years working full time in a neuro lab
Obviously I need and would like to do more clinical volunteering and shadowing (specifically at a hospice and at a neurology clinic, respectively) and would like to do more nonclinical as well. It's just difficult because I have to work on the weekend. I've contemplated quitting my job to make it work. Would it be unwise to try to fit it in before June while working full time and taking classes full time and studying for MCAT? I feel that the answer is probably yes, but I also don't want to look weak and take another year just to volunteer and study for the MCAT.
