Hey! You have some great experiences here. Make sure to get shadowing in primary care if you only have subspecialties at the moment (didn't list what area the shadowing was in). Good volunteering and I think habitat for humanity is a great activity to rack up hours in. Clinical is good and research looks good.Hello! I would like some insight into how I am currently doing. I am a Junior, with no intention of taking a gap year. I am planning to start preparing for my MCAT once this semester ends, with an intended test date of late April/early May. As a result, I'd appreciate some feedback on the other aspects of my application!

Yea definitely. Try to get it going ASAP so you can throw that in AMCASI am currently working on starting a nonprofit with some of my close friends, but I am not sure if it will be up and running by the time I apply. Would this be something that would count towards more leadership?
