Hey I just finished my sophomore year and I will be a junior in the fall. cGPA: 3.7ish sciGPA: 3.65ish. As far as clinical volunteering goes I volunteer at a hospital near my home whenever I am on break from school (summer and winter). I would like to apply next summer and by that time I would have volunteered at the hospital for 2 summers + 2 winter breaks (about 8 months) with about 200ish hours total. I want to get a job this year during the school year and work about 6 hours per week. Should I be volunteering at a hospital instead or is working good?
My ECs include:
Joining a new club next year (I know that I can get a leadership position quickly)
Working a job for hopefully the entire year (6 hrs/wk)
Also how many activities should I be a part of? I am probably only going to have 3 clubs + research + summer volunteering by next year. -- I have done a great variety of things for the clubs (organizing paperwork, helping blood donors, raising funds etc.).. if it matters...
My ECs include:
- Summer volunteering (like I said 200~ hours)
- Leadership position for pre-med club next year. (Joined club my soph year)
- Research (at least 1 semester next year but hopefully the entire year). Also I am getting credit through my school for the research so does it still count as an EC?
- Part of another club involved in helping the community (1 hr a week avg)
- Shadowed about 20ish hours so far (couple anesthesiologists and pain medicine doc)
