Hello,
I am new to this website and wanted to hear some general thoughts on applying to med school. I am going into my third year (molecular bio major, chem and spanish minors). My current overall GPA is 3.79 and the science GPA is around 3.7. I plan on taking the mcat 2015 in the spring. Some of my ec's include a charity organization I started on my campus, as well as other organizations of volunteering in the community. I have worked in the past as a cashier, a nanny, and a receptionist at a dermatology office. I have experience shadowing an ob/gyn in her office and at the hospital. I volunteered back at home at a local hospital's ER. This fall, I plan on continuing the volunteering on campus as well as starting research. I plan on applying a the end of this year when the apps open up. Is there anything I can do before then to strengthen my application? Thanks for your help.
