I'm currently 21 years old, and I am determined to become a physician. I encountered some family difficulties my senior year of high school and hardly attended. Even with my extremely poor attendance I graduated with a 3.85 GPA and I got a 32 on the ACT. I was offered 2 different full ride scholarships, but I was not in the position mentally or emotionally to accept the offers. Now, four years later, after working several different jobs, owning a business for roughly 18 months, and being exposed to many different life lessons, both good and bad, I feel that now's the time for me to start working towards this.
At this point I'm planning on attending a community college for 2 years and then transferring to a four year university. I am planning on majoring in business, but that may change. What I'm looking for is advice on what I need to be doing now as far as EC's, and schooling in general, besides a good GPA and MCAT. What do I need to do now to ensure that I stand out in my med school applications?
