So I'm a sophomore at Tulane U in lovely New Orleans and I'm trying to decide what to do with my time. ANY advice would be appreciated.
I'm the type of guy who loves to do it all, be the go to guy on everything. That worked dandy in high school, but now I'm feeling the squeeze. I want to go to an excellent medical school, so I'm thinking about pairing down my activities and focussing on school/studying for the MCAT next year. Here's what I do so far.
*Resident Advisor (RA) for freshmen dorm
*EMT-B for Tulane Emergency Medical Services (TEMS)
*Officer for Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity (FIJI)
*Avid Social Man
Not much right? Heh, well the freshmen keep me very busy and there are 'required' shifts with that. In TEMS I work 12-hour shifts and often miss classes for calls, and FIJI keeps me busy developing men and volunteering. And of course I love to party and dance.
I hate to be "that pre-med guy" who asks the question, "What do I need to get into medical school?" because I believe in the journey not the end-product. But here it is, "How can I improve my application to medical schools."
