im sure thats just sarcasm,
your ECs fine for a sophmore but a little more shadowing wouldnt hurt anyone, increase your sGPA, since it is pretty low, by taking higher level science classes and aceing them and i think you'll have a good shot at MD

(if you get 30+ on the MCAT)

I wouldn't worry about that. You seem to be dedicated enough and doing well enough so far that you shouldn't have to worry about that. Also, just for safety, remember the rule (not directed at you, just in general): Don't go Caribbean until you've been rejected MD/DO twice.
