So, I am a sophomore in college, and I am asking medical students if I have sufficient ECs at this point since you all are in medical school.
ECs:
1. 6 years Army National Guard service
2. ~60 emergency department volunteer hours
3. I have four shadowing positions coming up in the next three weeks with: chief of vascular surgery at a hospital in Baltimore, orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine physician, and primary care physician.
4. May or may not count, you tell me... American Humanist Association member.
5. Currently a medical scribe at the hospital I where my volunteer hours were acquired.
My current gpa is 3.7. I just have to complete my pre-reqs for MCAT and take it, so obviously my GPA after that point and MCAT scores are a significant slice of the pie missing. Just wanted to know if there are any other ECs that I should pursue besides research to make myself competitive for medical schools.
Thank you!
