I have not yet taken the MCAT, but I have a 3.6 GPA. I had a rough transition freshman year getting a 3.3 first semester and a 3.0 second semester. During my second semester of freshman year, I was in a bad biking accident that put me out of school for the last three weeks and required me to take my finals without being in class at all. Since then, I have had nearly all A's or A-'s. Here is mini resume:

4 Year Divsion 1 NCAA Cross Country/Track Runner
Co-President of the Health and Human Science Society
President of Bible Study on campus
Member of TriBeta Biology Honors Society
Volunteer at Medical Center 50 hours
Shadowed an Orthopaedic Surgeon-Got to be in the OR and watch many surgeries
Shadowed an Anesthiologist- Got to see his perspective in the OR
Shadowed an ER Doctor
Spent a month in Africa with multiple Doctors helping provide medical aid and teaching
Spent a summer at UVA doing research


There are other things I would put on a real resume, these are just the ones that stand out to me. Besides keeping good grades and doing well on the MCAT, what else would you recommend I do to be a competitive medical school candidate?
