Shadow some DOs, rock your MCAT, keep your GPA up

How's it look so far though?

You're doing a TON of EC's and volunteer work. How much time are you really giving to all of them? If you're stretching yourself thin then I'd suggest cutting a few of them.

Other than that, would agree with other poster of keeping those GPA's up and killing the MCAT. You'll be golden.

Moving to WAMC.

Moving where??

But I've dedicated good amount of time to everything..volunteering in lab is once a week during semester. Clinical hours done during vacation Nd weekends and nonprofit is always grinding
