Hello, all!
I am slightly worried about my extracurriculars, volunteering, etc. I am a sophomore and I know it is prime time to be doing them, so I was wondering if anyone could give their thoughts on my list of what I am actively doing.
--Residential College/Dorm Leadership Committee
--Chemistry Honor Society (Member, not in leadership as of now)
--Supplemental Instructor (Our school's nonremedial way of group tutoring)
--Founder/President of a Prehealth Organization
--Welcome Week/Orientation Week Leader
--"Family Group" Leader (Our school's way during COVID-19 to help freshmen plug into campus)
Other:
--Thesis (I have an Honors Thesis due my senior year. Whether it is lab-based or more library-based is TBD)
Volunteering has been hard because of COVID-19. My plan for volunteering is to volunteer at our city's health center focused on treating underserved patients. Non-medical volunteering would be something like tutoring for primary/secondary students and maybe a soup kitchen position. Again, COVID-19 makes this more difficult.
Besides shadowing, any ideas on direct patient interaction? I understand shadowing isn't a direct patient interaction, but any thoughts on other things besides shadowing?
Is there anything else I am missing on the non-GPA and MCAT side?
Thank you!
