Hello everyone, I'm new to these forums, and as my first post I just wanted to get some people's opinions. I know there are a lot of questions, but I figured it would be better to get them all out in one post, so please bare with me.
So far I've taken Calc 1 and Calc 2 and recieved A's in both, Gen Chem 1 and Gen Chem 2, and recieved an A and a B+ respectively. However in Bio 1 and Bio 2 I scored a C+, and I know for a fact that I could have done better but now it's too late.
What are ways that I can show medical schools that I can score well in biology? What are some classes you guys can recommend that I should take to show this improvement?
I was wondering what kind of classes should I take to demonstrate diversity. I'm really interested in geography and world culture, would taking classes in these areas demonstrate diversity?
How much of an impact does having a research position impact your application? I've recently started a research job working with stem cells on my campus. If I can demonstrate to medical schools my understanding of the experiments we do in there, would this make a large impact on my application or a small impact?
What are some ways that I can convince a doctor in my school's hospital to allow me to shadow him or her?
I undestand that medical schools look at both your overall GPA and your science GPA, but what is the average overall GPA of an accepted student into medical school (and what is his or her average science GPA)?
Again, I know these are a lot of questions, and I know they are random, but if you can do the best you can to answer them, I would really appreciate it.
