I'm going into my fourth year of undergrad and will be taking a gap year so I'm not applying until this time next year. My ECs are nothing special and I need some advice on what to do in the next year to improve them.
1 year research in a Biological Clocks lab (first opportunity that came my way so I took it but turns out I'm not that passionate about the subject so I don't really want to pursue it any longer. Is it too late to join another lab?)
lots of high school volunteering but only 1 year volunteer work in college in a rehabilitation hospital spending time with patients
just started work in a pediatricians office doing reception work/eventually getting my CNA
no shadowing!!
Its mind-blowing to me how all of you have time for all these impressive ECs!! Any suggetions would be much appreciated!
Side question: do schools seriously consider how rigorous your undergrad institution was or do they try to treat all applicants the same?
