Hello,
I'm a bio major with a minor in French. My overal GPA is 3.7, and my BCPM GPA is 3.6.
I haven't taken the MCAT yet, so I'm asking how my GPA and EC's look, basically.
As far as EC's go, I have about 200 hours volunteering in an ER, 60 hours of shadowing (ophthalmologist, neurosurgeon, and family practice), fencing for 2 and a half years (I'm a member of a fencing club that is not affiliated with my school), and about 100 hours volunteering in a homeless shelter. I am also a member of the French club, and have studied abroad in France twice (a 3 week intensive course in Aix-En-Provence as well as a semester in Paris).
What worries me is that I don't have any "leadership" experience. I've been thinking about trying to establish a fencing team at my school, but apparently others have tried before, and the school forbids it due to it resembling violence, which is a bunch of BS. It's an olympic sport! They don't seem to understand that though.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
