That's still really good though for a freshman GPA! Gives you room to grow without haunting you in the future 🙂 I got three As and an A-, so my cGPA at this point is 3.96 and sGPA is 4.0. I am really relieved with how well this year worked out! I was very nervous, as I had practically no science exposure before college. I mean, the first time I'd ever used a microscope was bio lab this past semester. But the lack of exposure doesn't seem to be a detriment yet!
I have a question for everyone. So I'm planning on studying for the MCAT the summer after sophomore year (next year; I'm a rising sophomore now). However, I'm not sure if I should study for the MCAT like it's a full time job and just do a little volunteering and shadowing on the side, or if I should try and do research or get an actual job with studying on the side. I'd love to have tons of time so that I can totally rock the MCAT, but at the same time, the thought of spending a whole summer without doing anything that adds to my resume is not a pleasant one. What do you all think? Have you thought that far ahead? I have this problem where I plan stuff way way way in advance... I usually change my mind several times, but I like having some direction a long ways out, even if it turns out to be the wrong direction. Any thoughts would be awesome 😀
I hope everyone is having a lovely break so far! 🙂
