being a premed, it's an unstated rule that you should be doing some sort of extracurriculars outside of class (volunteer, work, sports, clubs, etc.) in order to get into a decent med school. is this also the same during medical school as your trying to get into a good/decent residency? i've read about events at some schools where the med students volunteer building a house. i'm thinking, would we have time to be doing all that and still have the time/sanity left to do well on our classes? is it true that as long as (1) your grades are good and (2) you have great USMLE scores, your bound to get into one of your top-choice residency programs?! i'm just asking this so that i'll know wat to focus on once M1 begins. thanks!
