Hey guys, I'm a rising sophomore @ a big state school in my state (t50), and I wanted to know how I'm doing. I'm aiming to get into a t30 med school maybe even higher who knows, so I've been giving it my all. Right now it's summer, and I have a little bit of time to relax, so I thought I would post here to see if I could improve upon what I have. I know that all this means nothing without a high MCAT score, so I will take all of your comments with a grain of salt until I take my MCAT. Until then, I would like to see how I could improve upon myself. So heres my current "application" for medical school.
- 200 Hours in a chem research lab (will most likely get at least one pub by the time I apply to med school)
- athlete for a club sport for my school (around 200 hours given)
- eboard on my school's chem society
- Crisis Text line Counselor - 75 hours as of right now, but will be at least 230 hours by the time I apply
- 10 hours in a clinical volunteering organization at my school
- 45 hours of shadowing in ER
- 10 hours shadowing a physical therapy clinic
gpa: 3.95
rn, i'm trying to get some clinical volunteering @ a clinic or hospital, but it's been pretty difficult as of right now, but i'm gonna keep trying. thanks for the help everyone. I plan to use this thread as insight on my next steps.
