I had an awful freshman year. I'm a Biochemistry and Spanish double major. First semester I withdrew from General Chemistry I and Calculus II leaving me at 6 credits for the semester. I had an A and a B in the two remaining classes. In the spring I retook General Chemistry I for a C, withdrew from Elementary Statistics, got an A a B in my two other classes. I took General Chemistry II for a C in the summer. As of now my cGPA is 3.47. I'm unsure of my sGPA, but due to the GenChem classes I'm fairly sure it's low despite the credits I came into college with (from CC during high school).
As of now I'm doing very well in O-Chem. I'm doing well in General Bio I, and I'm acing my two Spanish classes. I fully expect to get straight As this semester. I intend to take GenBio II, O-Chem II, and two Spanish classes next semester.
I'm treasurer of my university's Forensics team, and I've been competing since freshman year. I'm involved in the Latino Wellness club, I'm a founding member of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers chapter of my university, I'm a member of the Chicano/Latin-American Student Association, and I'm a member of the North Star STEM Alliance.
I have no volunteering experience since high school. There are two places I have in mind: the local humane society and the local food bank. Do I need to volunteer at multiple places? Would it matter which I volunteered at? How many hours should I accumulate by the time I apply?
I've been unable to find opportunities for clinical experience. In high school I used to translate English<>Spanish, but I haven't been able to find any similar opportunities since moving away to college. I do currently have a work-study assignment working for my university's science fair department.
What do I need to work on? When should I plan to take the MCAT? What kind of schools should I apply to?
