I apologize if this thread has been posted, but I couldn't find anything that was similar to my position. I currently started my Junior year of my undergraduate and these are some of my concerns I am struggling with. I was a late bloomer and originally wanted to study law, hence why my Major is history with a minor in Real Estate. My concerns are that I will not be able to finish all my pre reqs at my University and will be forced to finish a few classes at a CC. Will this be frowned upon, or as long as I have a good SGPA it will counter balance that decision? Another hurtle is I won't have any research under my belt when I apply as Im a BA vs BS
As my journey to law, I was involved with medicine to make my application stand out. But the more I worked in medicine I realized I wanted to be a Physician. I currently have a CNA Certification but have not utilized it yet. I worked as a Non Emergency Medical Transporter so that's really the only ''clinical'' experience I have at this point. Ive been a wrestling coach at a middle school for 2 years and by the time I apply it will be 4. I plan on volunteering at a hospice until I graduate so I will have at least two years of that by the time I apply.
1)So I guess the questions I have are, in terms of Volunteering, what is a reasonable amount of locations as well as hours to be considered competive both clinical and non-clinical. 2) Hours and MD'S to shadow to prove I'm serious about medicine. 3) Amount of paid clinical hours 4) Will not having research and pre reqs at a CC be looked down upon? I should add that I shadowed a perfutionist so I was able to be exposed to the OR for Cardiac procedures. Around 40 hrs. My current gpa is a 3.5 and I don't see it being more than a 3.6 by the time I graduate
Thanks in advance
