My ideal goal is to get into med school, but I need a gap year or two to fix my flaws. First off, I have not made worthwhile relationships with my professors; I will be working extremely hard my senior year to build up my letters of recommendation.
Secondly, I need to show that I am capable of doing well in harder courses since I haven't been able to really show this in my previous years. I could have done better in these classes, but my priorities were not in line with my goal to get into med school. Not only am I a student athlete, but I am also someone that has liked to go out on the weekends in the past.
Finally, I need to build up my extracurriculars.
This coming year, I am really buckling down and focusing on what is important for my future.
Right now, my science and overall GPA is about 3.50, and I plan on taking the MCAT either in January or in the spring after I have taken my first semester classes.
I am unsure of what would be best suited for my time after I graduate. I was thinking of taking an accelerated EMT course over the summer and then volunteering/working if I would have time. However, I think that grad school will probably be best suited for my future whether I get accepted into med school or not. I am very strong in math, and I have found genetics, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry very interesting. Medical administration is appealing to me, but I have not taken any business classes except for statistics. If I don't get into med school, I would like to be in a career where I am always around and interacting with people.
I really need help to determine what would be best for me. What options do I have that would help my application the most to get into med school? Additionally, what other career paths should I look into? Looking forward to hearing from you!
