So I'm starting freshman year (not the best pre-med school).
I want to know what I should do to increase my chances of getting into Med School. Specifically volunteer work, jobs, and all the extra stuff.
Obviously I need a solid GPA and MCAT. What else can I do to help solidify my chances of being accepted into Med School.
Lastly I have 2 specific questions.
1. Does it matter what I major in? I'm thinking Biological Sciences, but I kinda want a second major in business. Just to fall back on. As of right now I can't see myself as anything but a Doctor.
2. When should I start being concerned about the MCAT? Like I said, not the best pre med program. Should I get the kaplan books and study over time? Or study 2-3 months prior to taking the MCAT?
I will do anything it takes to get in to Med School. I just need a better idea from those more expierenced.
