Hey everbody,
I was just wondering how many extra curriculur activities I should have. I have around a 3.7 science gpa, and a MCAT score of 28. I have worked in a research lab since high school, have volunteered at a local hospital, have done some volunteer work in a foreign country, and have done other various volunteer projects in my community. Would this be competive enough to get into a medical college? I appreciate the replies.

There is not a specific #. Just do as much as possible if you want the best chances.

Having more is better. However it is also better to be heavily involved in a few than slightly involved in a lot.

Have exactly 15.

They only have 15 spots for activities on the AMCAS

You know, I'm mostly joking, but in some ways it kinda makes sense

The number of activities doesn't matter so much as the quality of the activities. It seems like you've got your bases pretty well covered, maybe a tutoring/teaching activity would round things out a bit.

Depends on what kind of research you've been doing since highschool? Whats your overall GPA?
